[soontobewed07]

We will be taking my mother on this disney trip and she's diabetic we are doing the qsdp per her choice but the question is....

What do you do with the sugar loaded desserts?
What do you use your snack credits on?

Even some of the QS places have a sugar free choice for dessert. You may also be able to sub out bottle water or fruit.

As for snack credits, there are some savory snacks out there. Check the snack sticky at the top of this forum.

I am a type 1 and never have a problem with finding options.

At CS, I sometimes get yogurt or fruit. Several of the more popular CS also have NSA or artificially sweetened options, such as parfaits (think pudding cups) or sometimes brownies or cookies. Other times, I get a regular dessert and one of my friends will have it for a snack later while I use their credit for something better for me like popcorn or a pretzel or fruit or whatever. Sometimes I order a salad or other low-impact meal and have dessert.

Also, speaking from experience, it may surprise you how much lower blood glucose can become when walking around the parks all day - and dessert with lunch or dinner may turn out not to be such a bad idea.
