Actually, I take care of a lady who has specific dietary needs which are preventative for diabetes and the hardest thing isn't just the sugar. Learning to eat a balanced diet is very difficult if you aren't used to it. Sodium is something most people don't watch for. Lots of people don't realize how high there diet is in carbohydrates either.
I hope your daughter will be able to look into some of the new testing equipment which will allow her to test on her arm and other less sensitive areas. Also, I hope that she will go through extensive diabetes instruction and education. My sister is a diabetic care nurse and there is a lot to learn.
There are so many wonderful websites.
