I am diabetic so most of the sweeter substances that are out there really aren't all that great for messy play without risking spiking my blood sugar. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas of any edible materials that could safely be used. Thanks in advance!

Sugar free cool whip maybe?

starchy stuff okay? oatmeal/porrige...mash n gravy...yoghurt/quark?

The wifes type 1 diabetic, nothing stops her from using anything including custard. She just tries to keep it away from her mouth or going in. She has never 'spiked' after a full coating of custard. We have also gotten messy with another diabetic and they weren't concerned. Don't let it be an excuse not to get messy - she's been type 1 for 40 years

There is no problem if you do not injest any of the messing materials.

Keep your mouth closed - sorted!

Diabetes doesn't work that way... if you don't eat sugar, your blood sugar doesn't rise.

Like others have said the best way is to just avoid swallowing it.

I've been a well controlled type 1 since I was young (for 35 years now). The other thing to consider is that I've found that getting very 'excited' can cause a spike even if you don't eat anything. I think it's due to a liver dump similar to one that some diabetics might get first thing in the morning.

Whichever it is a small bolus dose 15 mins before you start should do the trick. Type 1 Diabeties doesn't need to stop you doing anything.
