I see there are going to be some people telling me to talk to his doctor, I should have mentioned that he lives in South America and medical care is that great down there. He has very very bad eating habits. The doctors have told him what not to eat, I need to find he some things he can eat. For instance, he was never told not to drink milk, turns out milk is very bad for people with high blood sugar.


Answers:

All fruit and vegtables has some fructose in them including pumpkins. However your dad should talk to his doctor they can better explain what's best for him. Also please don't believe the myths that sugar alone causes Diabetes.
