[QUOTE="TerriH, post: 721696, member: 298"] I am a diabetic. What helps me is to always have allowable snacks in the house, and this is where you might help her. For a diabetic, cheese is relatively halthy, as is nuts and meat. And, then there is diet jello and sugar free pudding! I think I disagree with your nutritionalist as I use NutraSweet as an artificial sweetener, which does not affect my blood sugar at all. OTHER sweeteners might affect her blood sugar, depending on which one is used. A pitcher of artificially sweetened ice tea in the fridge and maybe a bottle of diet coke in there as well might help. Eating sweets just sets her up for low blood sugar, as what goes quickly up will come just as quickly down! When your blood sugar comes slowly down a person gets a bit hungry and can eat a sensible meal, but if your blood sugar crashes you will eat anything and everything in the house! As far as her not taking her medications, gentle hugs! been there done that and it was really rough. [/QUOTE]
