So she's craving sugar? Women experience sugar cravings a lot Get her to take fresh fruit instead. Be buying it for her and washing and cutting it up for her, put it inside a container with a fork and give her. Somebody down there mentioned honey, a great idea! Drizzle it over the fruit chunks Dont blend it into juice because juice is very sugary as well. Blending dozens of fruit and drinking it every day is a fast route to Diabetes Central LGA If it is also an addictive behaviour you can be packing groundnut, seeds, maybe some dark chocolate etc for her to chew and satisfy her oral fixation. The point of this is to fill her stomach with non-harmful stuff so she wont have space to take unhealthy food. At this point it is an addiction so nagging is not going to work because she wont listen 3 Likes 2 Shares |

TVTKOKO: Deploy every means to stop her. If you don’t stop her her, you will feel the heat later. I feel this usually happens when there is really no one to cook ....fast food, snacks & beverages becomes the resolve. I hope she doesn’t take pills too. Involve family members because it’s already an addiction. Act now! I’ve had a similar experience before I could realize it was too late. 3 Likes |

Buy her cartons of low sugar yoghurt. Let her always exercise. You can consider non sugar based sweet drinks but these also cause other ailments besides diabetes. Honey is good. But finding pure ones in naija na issue. Consider fruits as source of sugar too if she's addicted. |

Squeeze lemon in her water. Some people don’t like the taste of water so they go for carbonated drinks. Also, introduce her to some people with diabetes. Let’s see what she thinks about them. 3 Likes |

She probably drinks it because she craves the caffeine or the sugar. Your best bet is to find her substitutes. Juice a lot of fruits in season for her and if she craves the caffeine, try making lemon iced tea with honey. 1 Like 1 Share |

"Na one tin go kill pesin" Pls just let the old woman be... Maybe stopping her from taking it is like separating a smoker from his cigarette, she'll just drink in hidden places. On a more serious note: She's an advanced adult, she's darn well knowledgeable about how things react to her system and when her system brakes down as a result of something... Just keep telling her the health implications of diabetes to older people, she'll come to reason soon enough. |
