The sad thing is that she does keep asking me what she should be eating as the spikes concern her- she has all but given up chocolate ( to be fair I think her son ate all the chocolate that was in the house) and is being restrained re snacks and  desserts when she goes out. She's had no info re mixed plates and order of eating things to enable her to minimise changes to diet and reduce BS spikes but she is keeping an eye on her CGM to see if she can see what has the most effect, which clearly helps.She is of that generation who comply with authority without question. If the dietician had highlighted healthy fats, nuts, veg  and protein and stressed complex carbs she would have tried to adapt, but we are where we are. I don't think she has been given any options diet wise. Hopefully she will continue to gain weight slowly. She is persevering and adapting - and at 87 that is no mean feat in itself</blockquote>
