Surely it is ok for her to have an ice-cream. Being Diabetic doesn't mean you have to cut any food out completely, that includes sugary treats. All it means is that you have to be careful to not have too much of them. They become a 'treat' rather than a daily food. It is the same for any healthy diet whether you have diabetes or not, everything in moderation.
I guess the only problem with children is their self control. If they have one sugary treat they will want more, but that is just a learning curve for them that they will get used to.
