I am not a doctor, I am a nurse and I deal with patients with diabetes all the time. She needs to stay away from anything sweet, and any type of carbohydrate that turns into pure sugar, eat healthy like vegetables and fish, chicken, If you are concerned about her weight have her go to her doctor to get on a sugar free health shake that will help her gain weight, if she cannot afford to go to the doctor, go to any walgreens, and ask the pharmacist for glucerna for diabetics, if you have any other questions, please feel free to email me...

I am a doctor, and if your friend is diabetic, the first thing she needs to go is see her doctor and make sure she has good medical follow-up for her disease. If she's young and thin then she's probably a type I diabetic, which means that she's not able to produce enough of her own insulin, so she will probably need to administer insulin or risk going into a diabetic coma, plus no matter how good her diet is, she may never be able to control her sugar without insulin, and the one thing that will make the greatest difference over time in terms of reducing complications is tight control of blood sugar.
That having been said, diet is also very important, though it will probably not be enough. Obviously sweets should be kept to a minimum, try to avoid sugar in all it's forms. Also carbs are bad news, nice, pasta, bagles are all terrible for blood sugar. Proteins are good, especially lower fat cuts.

I'm not a dr., but I know she should only be getting a certain amount of carbs. every meal and snack. She really needs to talk to her doctor about a diet plan. I had gestational diabetes and was able to control it with diet.

Eye yam ma dock turd.
Oops sorry, I have to switch back to English.
I am a doctor. If your friend has sugar, she has diabetes, and her bg is low, than have her eat the sugar.

Just tell her to eat foreign bananas and walk on hot coals to lose the weight she needs.
