No, because your accidentals are determined by what key you're playing in. They're completely separate from this. A diatonic scale isn't a scale itself, more so a type of scale. In this case, so long as it has 5 whole steps and 2 half steps within one octave, it's a diatonic.

Whatever you do, don't eat limes. A friend of mine ate a lime once and BAM!! Two years later. Herpes.
