Default Re: Diabetic food mix ideas?

What mixes has she had if any other than the foods you mentioned, she will get bored with so a limited variety of food & I would be very worried she isn't getting all the nutrients she needs without a proper mix.
Have you thought about the Bunny dwarf hamster dream expert? It does have some pea flakes in it but as part of a balanced diet that should be ok.
It depends how much you want to spend on food but Mixerama do a good mix which has plenty of variety & is fine for diabetic hams, delivery is expensive but if you could buy a few bags & keep them in the freezer.

ETA I forgot to say if you want an alternative to mealworms then you can feed chicken, plain cooked or dried, or tofu (my hams go mad for that) both of which are low fat & good sources of complete protein, you can also get dried fresh water shrimps which most hams like too & which are lower in fat that mealworms.
