Diabetic patient

Asked for Female, 63 years

My mom is 57 with type 2 diabetes and is on 4 different medications for her blood sugar and it is still always high. She currently consumes 10-15 pounds of sugar per month through the sweet tea she makes and drinks constantly. What will this do to her body and what effects does it have on her?? I really want to understand this so I can give her more information.

Dear Patient,

Im so sorry to hear that uncontrolled diabetes can damage nerves, kidneys and eyes before anything else.
In uncontrolled diabetes the first thing to be omitted is the sugar we consume in tea. She can divide Only One sachet of splenda PER DAY, between her cups of tea.im attaching few articles on the effects of her condition:
