At the risk of starting a major discussion here, I have an ongoing 'fight' with my mother, who has Type 2 Diabetes, in that she say's it's perfectly fine to eat Jelly Babies. She gets the Waitrose own brand.
Her details: she is 81, 5ft3 (I think!) and she's obese (ie last time she exercised was in 1962 I think) and she's around 80kg.
Now in my view, they are full of sugar. She says they're fruit. She did stop eating them for a week once and said that her sugar levels didn't change so she's going back to eating them.
I would like to offer her an alternative as I've taken over the kitchen, which was another fight in itself, but that's another story...
Any suggestions re alternatives?
Many thanks
