Hello
Newbie here
Mum is 85 years old with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes and alzheimers on metformin
I am struggling to find foods that she will eat that are low carb
The practice nurse just said go to the diabetic part of the supermarket and buy diabetic food and ready meals????
Mum is very old fashioned in what she will eat
White bread sugar in tea cereals potatoes crisps and chips are what she will accept. Everything else is the devil's food. Soo I need to find alternatives
that I can fool her with because her alz makes it impossible to reason with her.
I have replaced her sugar bowl with powdered sweetener. I cook her scrambled egg on 1 slice of milk roll for brekkie. I am struggling at lunch because yesterday I cooked her pork chop and veg and she refused to eat it because there was no potato. She would refuse brown rice and pasta and brown wholemeal bread. I feel like I am sinking under the responsibility of all this. Her fasting blood sugar this morning was 12.1.Help!
