Are dates sugar free?

Are dates (without any added sugar) considered sugar free? Can diabetes patients consume dates? If store bought products contain dates instead of sugar can they be called sugar free products?

Dates aren't sugar free but it has a low glycemic index which causes blood sugar to rise at a steadier, safer pace. So you can have dates but within small amounts.
