I wouldn't spend much time worrying about it. Every diabetic I know
cheats on their diet. Just ask her what sort of stuff she usually eats
and go with that. Then you can sit back and watch them eat all the stuff
they said they weren't supposed to have.


Big niece is now diabetic and she will eat everything in the house if
you turn your back on her. My brother in law was diabetic. He would
drink large amounts of rum and Coke but it was okay because it is Diet
Coke. One time when we were visiting him he was complaining about his
doctor because he had been put on a 1500 calorie per day diet and was
gaining weight. He was eating his breakfast as he was complaining about
the doctor, and his breakfast ice cream with chocolate sauce and
cookies. I dared to point that out and he insisted it was diet ice
cream. A very good friend is diabetic and generally eats well, but when
we go for coffee he usually has two donuts with it.
