She "thinks" you have type II diabetes? Are you maybe borderline? I had gestational diabetes with my firstborn (but not #2, oddly enough) and had to watch what I ate - would have killed for a brownie by the time of delivery.
On the plus side there are a lot of sugar-free foods out there (Jello brand fat-free, sugar free pudding is great.) Watch the fruit juices - they may be all natural but they're high in sugar.
Start small and remember there are wonderful foods that taste good and are good for you (my personal favorites are roast chicken and turkey, the real thing that make the house smell so good, not deli cuts that tend to be high in sodium.
But first, confirm the diagnosis. Then contact a nutritionist who can help plan meals. You don't have to entirely give up the sweets, just cut back, eat sparingly, and watch your blood sugar levels.
And they make insulin in nasal sprays these days.
