Recommended he avoid high fiber foods to help from having early satiety and fullness. Patient also said applesauce and mashed potatoes would be an option he could tolerate. Patient was concerned about his CBG's and wanted to avoid all sugary items. Changed his supplement to Boost Chocolate Glucose Control to assist with controlling his blood sugars. 2.
