Hi Alicia,

I have no experience with either. Had to look up brittle diabetes. I just wanted to acknowledge your post so that you don't feel we are ignoring you. There's not a lot of discussion here regarding diabetes occurring with bone marrow failure. I hope your sister's nausea eases enough so she can eat. The two things that really helped John were fresh watermelon and yellow squash soup. The yellow squash soup tip was given to us by a nutritionist. You basically slice up the summer yellow squash and cook it water until tender and then puree it. Add salt to taste. This was one thing John could tolerate. It's good hot or cold.
