Type 3 - I like that

Hey, type 3 - hang in there with that woman.

As you have framed it, I would not adjust much in your serving food - that is her choice to eat what she can - she will always know better than you what she can eat. However, do keep in mind what someone else said about your meal preparations - steer more toward high protein stuff, less white stuff. I don't worry too much about carbs, as the carbs at home are all whole foods, such as whole wheat, oatmeal, etc, which are beneficial for overall health. Oh, also - do not use any artificial stuff in cooking - use only real foods - you are a real person with a real body, you are not a chemical and chemicals never satisfy appetite.

If/when she does talk, encourage her to keep a steady routine as far as diet and exercise are concerned. Once in a steady pattern, insulin use and eating will also be routine and then high/low blood sugar may also be predictable. I say, "may" be predictable, because you must realize, that there are some physical curve balls that we get pitched at us, even when we have a good routine. That is just the way things are with insulin users. But, your woman probably knows that already. Plus, I think some woman things affect high/low blood sugar also - at least that is what I read from time to time. Just be patient and let her manage things - let her be who she is - that is why you like her.
