Just watching on catch up-
sugar free John is getting on my tits!
i am the mum of an adult with diabetes- I have nearly 30 yrs experience of type 1. We were drawing up in syringes in those days.
i never used sweetener- it is horrible and gave us the shits. My daughter was never told she couldn’t have sugar - restricting foods can cause rebellious behaviour. We allowed some sugar but always with a pay off ( more exercise or extra insulin) and like others have said, sugary stuff is needed to get bms up !
we don’t make an issue over her diabetes and I have never got emotional about it!
sorry I know I am a grumpy bitch but I am bed ridden with a lupus flare and I have taken some high strength pain meds…. Off me tits!!!
