Hi! My mum has just come from her doctor. He said that she probably has diabetes. Now I'm worried. I know that if it's true she should not eat any sweets any more. But she likes them a lot. I really don't know how she can be on strict diet. Does anybody tell me how much sugar should a diabetic consume?

Well, life with diabetes can be really difficult, but it's not the worst thing that can happen to somebody. To be on strict diet it's hard but if you need to, you will accustom to everything. Just a year ago I could not imagine life without sweets but now I don't really want them. It's better for your mother to use a sugar substitute.
