I must have missed that part.

And they are just NOW looking for information that will help them deal?

Or they don't have an understanding of the disease?

Wow.

Can they sit down with a friend who has diabetes and lay it all out in the open about what they don't understand? Eating on the run isn't all that hard when you know what raises your sugars. Even with 12 hour days. Since being on the road is part of it, I'd say the key is to PLAN PLAN PLAN...make a menu, shop for it and keep stuff in the hotel room. Eating out isn't THAT difficult for someone with diabetes. It's all about the choices. For me, whole foods (read unprocessed foods) helped me to lose a bunch of weight and got my diabetes WAY under control going from 2 shots of 80 units per day to NOTHING. No shots. No meds. NOTHING.

Anyway, 7 years into and not having a working understanding is scary. High blood sugars do SO MUCH damage to your body.

Wishing your friend all the best.
