she has attached insulin pump and glucose monitor. When she is able
to, she weighs everything. She is religious about what she eats and
has to be so. I just didn't want to put her in the position of being
an uncomfortable guest because she had to reject so much of what I
offered. If I can get a handle on it in advance I don't have to worry
and she can make easy comfortable choices.
