A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dad and diabetes: First things first. Your dad must measure his blood sugar value at least once a day - preferably alternating before breakfast one day and before bedtime the next night. If his blood glucose values are not normal he needs to see his doctor. If the values are OK he may take the sweetener you bought for him. Please let me know.
