Is the issue that she doesn't want to eat at all? Or that she refuses your particular offerings but wants something else?
How long have you been providing her meals? What did she eat before that? I take it that she is no longer able to prepare her own food. Is she insulin dependent? How well controlled is her blood sugar? Does she have other health issues in addition to diabetes?
Sorry for all the questions, but a little more information might spark some specific suggstions.
