Better to find other flavors that he likes that CAN be made more "diabetic
friendly," IMHO, if she wants to do him a favor. What will happen here, I
bet, is that he will have it too often since he will think it is okay, and
it will blow his BGs every time. But anyway...

The best solution for comparatively low-carb banana pudding might be to
simply go to the store and buy an instant artificially-sweetened pudding in
a flavor like cheesecake or white chocolate, prepare it according to package
directions, and add the sliced bananas to it. (Who knows, they may even make
it in banana flavor.) And if she wants to make it more mousse-like, tell her
to use half the stated volume of liquid and make it cream instead of milk.
