    My mammy has diabetes. Not the worst kind, the other one.

    Thing is, at 78, one of the few pleasures she has in life is a cake with her cuppa tea, and her doctor has told her to cut it out because her diabetes is getting worse.

    I feel terrible for the poor auld soul.

    Any suggestions for alternatives? As I understand it diabetic chocolate is a non-starter cause it's ****.

    Sugar free cakes and sweeteners instead of sugar in her cuppa

    She already uses sweetners in her tea, but I don't know where to get decent quality cakes that she can have.

    Does she have sugar in her tea?

    Cakes are a no-no unless she wants to lose some toes, possibly a foot. The only ways to lower blood sugar are losing weight, exercise, taking more insulin/metformin or cutting out sugar.

    Is she still half-decent?

    I heard a good pumping goes some way to sorting out your insulin levels.

    What can I say? You get diabetes you just have to do live with it. Swap a slice of cake for a couple of squares of chocolate. She'll get used to it over time.

    My father smokes 30 a day and says much the same thing.

    Who wants to live forever? Who dares to love forever? When love must die.
