I've seen first hand how a prediabetic acts when their condition heads rapidly on to full blown diabetes. My ex began by being very shaky with low BS, eating everything sweet in sight, to try to relieve it, then soon after became diabetic, same thing with my mom, same symptoms, everything.

This happened to both of them, and they were neither overweight, nor sugar junkies. But the moral of this story is, that is EXACTLY the way many patients present immediately preceeding diabetes.

I am amazed she hasn't seen enough of health problems in folks, her being a nurse, to figure out that is the way things happen, from first hand knowledge. Sounds like she is in denial, or has a death wish! (sorry for being so blunt)

Goes to show you just how addictive sugar is, and how hard to break the habit.
