I enjoy buying chocolate to treat my elderly mother. However, she is pre-diabetic. What is a good amount to buy for her per week?

Instead of telling you what you want to know I am going to tell you what you need to hear:

You and your entire family are pre-diabetic. 

What needs to happen is to only eat whole foods. 

100% chocolate?  She'd get full before it's too much. 

Answer 2

Probably none, but it’s all about the carbs. Read the package.

Answer 3

How much are you giving her now?

1 bar, 2 two pound bags of Kisses , 5 pounds or assorted chocolates? 

More importantly, how much is she actually eating in a day to weeks time? All that you bring her? Or a couple of squares a day, from a 10 square bar or half a bag of the 2 pound bag of Kisses, twice a day? 

And is this milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or reduced sugar, sugar free, and what else is she eating that is carbohydrate dense? 

And why not ask her doctor? 

Answer 4

If you love her, stop buying chocolate.

Buy her a bunch of fresh flowers or a bowl of fruit as a treat instead.

Answer 5

See you can find some that is sugar free.  And just a few bars.
