Hello, there's candy and chocolate for diabetics, even ice cream that actually taste like regular ice cream. When preparing your meals only cook what you can eat and eventually your whole house hold will be eating healthy. But it has to start with you. I pray it all comes together for you

Yes that would be great ,but I don't have running water in my kitchen. So it's very hard to cook at home.

Don’t buy sweets at all. Sugar increases diabetes, fatty liver disease and cirrhosis, pancreatic damage, inflammation (pain) in the body, and growth of cancer cells. It’s just not worth it. My husband is the same. I changed my ways, and he just had to deal with it.
