i can assure you he won't eat it often, in fact he requested her to make
this so he wouldn't do it himself... she has dealt with diabetics before but
her husband of thirty years never ate puddings... this new friend has
requested she make it, and at her house so he can taste it but not have it
in his frig talking to him, she can take or leave puddings so he can have a
serving for lunch, they will watch his levels for the hourly schedule and
then go from there, i know they make instans sugar free banana, as a friend
once made some, not telling me it had nutracrap in it, that cost me almost
three hundred dollars at the urgent care.

i was also wondering if she used a little vanilla if that would help
taste... and he has specified graham crackers... like his mom makes? never
heard of g/c for banana pudding... but i know those come in fat free and low
salt just not sure about sugar free. Lee
