A member asked:

What is a good way to keep a diabetic child from wanting too much sugary foods and high carb snacks?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Don't buy them!: As a parent, you have control over what your child eats most of the time. Set a good example for them by only buying nutritious, low-sugar, low-fat snacks to eat, like fruits and veggies. You can't control their desires, but you can help them make good choices.
