[QUOTE="GrantGam, post: 1163965, member: 295621"] Hello. Sorry to hear about your problem and of course for your father's issues. Okay so the coffee, chuck the sugar straight away and change to sweetner! That is an incredible amount of sugar for a type1 diabetic to be consuming in a day. He will probably need to adjust his insulin to compensate for this drastic drop in sugar intake. I hope that the higher than ideal blood sugar is the cause for your Dad's lack of appetite. If my sugars run high I feel a little queezy. It might be good for your Dad to arrange an appointment with a dietician. The diabetic team should offer this during the routine appointments. They will be able to help with meal planning and possibly suggest some foods that are easy to eat with a lacking appetite. Hope this can be if some use to you. Diabetes is a terrible condition to accept and deal with but something that must be done in order to avoid feeling even worse than you already are. Good luck and keep using this forum for support and advice. There are a lot of knowledgeable people here to help. Your father should take a visit also :) Regards, Grant [/QUOTE]
