Then it is easy. Just be sure she can be comfortable getting her
portions at the counter or table and she will know what she can have.

You already know not to put out a big tray of cake and candy. Good
chance she can have a little of the starches but may do a check before
she makes a platter and eats.

My experience is limited, but I've seen a couple that worry about every
gram they consume and a couple of others that pig out on sweets and
figure they just take a larger dose of insulin.
