Scarlett Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 I have a family member who is institutionalized in another state. He is a diabetic. I would like to send him some snacks...he loves sweets, but anything would be good I guess. Can someone make a suggestion of something diabetic approved that’s I can mail order and have shipped directly to him. He has schizophrenia....I think my words above made it sound like he is in prison. 🙂 I talked to him yesterday and I think he was saying something about coffee candy. ??

Chris in VA Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 There are lots of sugar-free treats on Amazon. You could also do snack boxes. I sent my daughter a dairy-free box that was pretty low sugar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mothersweets Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 (edited) Is it type 2 diabetes? or type 1? My dd has type 1 and she has regular treats - she doesn't like the sugar-free ones and we just give her the correct amount of insulin to cover the carbs. I would just make sure whatever you send has a carb count on the packaging. 🙂 Edited September 17, 2019 by Mothersweets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 If he has specifically asked for coffee candy, then I would just get him a sugar free coffee candy. This is a brand that my mom (a diabetic) likes: https://www.amazon.com/Nips-Sugar-Coffee-Candy-3-25-Ounce/dp/B000V9G1EE 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I started looking at candy on line I stayed to think maybe I misunderstood him and he was saying chocolate. He was very hard to understand yesterday.
