By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.

What has the doctor said? Getting bloodwork done, seeing what the labs say, can provide a great deal of information and direct an appropriate course of action.
So far I concentrate on salts and chips.
I would discuss this with her doctor. Ask for a nutrition consult.
But do understand that we all die, and sounds like she's made it to 87 this way. And is quite satisfied.
I will say, watching Naked and Afraid, it is amazing how long the human body can sustain without much food. Elders eat less and less and sleep more and more.
Good luck to you.
It could be a lot worse, alcohol, smoking.
Your doing a great job, let her have her sweets if that's what makes her happy.
I am wondering if you could try adding more fruit or eve. Fruit juice to help her craving.
Has she had other testing done to determine if all her bloodwork is within normal range?
Is mom living alone?
What would happen if she "ran out" of sugar?
Sweet is one of the sensations that hit the taste buds first and they last the longest so as other flavors fad salty, bitter the sweet will remain. It is one of the indications that "we", as humans have that let us know a potential food source is edible, safe and just like the hummingbirds it gives us energy.
Her blood sugar tests are all good after changing the type of sugar from regular white to sugar extracted from fruits and vegetables.
And she still eating sweets 🍬 and honey 🍯 and sugar
She may also be addicted to sugar. Many people are.
If I live past 75 I'm not only going to resume my former love affair with cheeseburgers and fries, but also with bourbon whiskey and hot fudge sundaes. I also plan on taking up smoking again at that age. How I LOVED smoking!
