Diabetes is serious; I think you're right to be concerned. I thought
diabetics were supposed to control their intake of simple
carbohydrates. You have beans, white bread, crisps, fruit, chocolate
and sweets on your list. Can't you get a list of preferred foods from
the doctor and then use that to guide what you feed her? How is a six
year-old supposed to know what is good for her? -aem
