Give them a diabetes cookbook if you want. They need to learn how to make diabetes specific meals themselves and make good nutrition choices. I am sure my Mac and Cheese casserole will do more harm than good.


T1 mom again. NO diabetes cookbook. T1s do not need diabetic specific meals. Perhaps read up on the difference between T1 and T2.


There are cookbooks for T1s.


The point is that T1's aren't limited in what they eat. So, any cookbook is a cookbook for T1's.

I would do a gift certificate for house cleaning, or laundry service instead. Or like PP said, offer to drive the other kids to their activities. I don't think this is a food situation.

That's the last thing I would have wanted when DD was diagnosed. And the kid has food allergies?? Just no.


I agree. Mom is going to want to know exactly what is in things
