MYW as a diabetic

[skuttle]

We'll be doing MYW dining in December. My mom will be with us and she is diabetic...no insulin or pills...she now is able to control just with diet and exercise. She will splurge once or twice during the trip on "real" dessert, but will she have other options available for dessert with the plan? I know some CS has no sugar added brownies, but whatabout TS? Will we have to call ahead, or should they be able to come up with something if we tell them when we arrive? Thanks!

When you make your priority seatings, please let your cm know that she is diabetic. They will make a note, and a special menu may be offered. If she can do this just by diet control, then you can aovid the sugary deserts and get fresh fruit, and they've addred fresh fruit as a snack option as well...

My husband is a type 1 diabetic with a pump, he counts carbs religiously. We have never had a problem, and I can assure you we quiz wait staff about the food prep as we look for those hidden carbs. Many times they have sent out the chef and have always made sure he can have appropriate substitutions.

Be careful many of those sugar free desserts have more carbs than the "real thing".
