hello!
well two years ago one member of our group was told he had type 2 diabetes. now, it is very much in control. he knows what he can eat and all that is great. everyone is very happy with how he has progressed, levels always between 4-7 and 5-10 . He knows he can have a splurge here and there, especially if he has a meal of grilled chicken salad if he knows he wants a treat! LOL!
BUT most days he won't splurge on the dessert. As everyone has the regular dining plan, the dinner includes dessert.
What in your experience will they do for him if he can't have the traditional dessert on the menu? Would fruit be allowed to be substituted (and yes we know it's high in sugar but the dieticians and doctors say he is fine) or are there other 'sugar free' or 'low sugar' alternatives for him?
Also at breakfast, he is so excited to get in on mickey waffles LOL is there a diabetic syrup that he can ask for?
I am sure there are many on here with experience in this regard. Thank you!
