[QUOTE="pleinster, post: 1556215, member: 221545"] Hi, [USER=417988]@Trishbethel[/USER] - I think we hope that friends (particularly "good" ones) have listened to us when we talk about our diabetes and our attempts to control it through diet etc., and that they will not feed us loads of carbs when invited to dinner. Truth is though, they tend to listen but no hear so well...and let's face it, they don't really get how important it is. Maybe we need to stress it more and not expect them to bear it in mind...personally, I think I would take on board that it was important to a friend if I was cooking for a diabetic concerned about carb content - so I would be disappointed in a friend who hadn't listened to me. It would teach me about that friend...but I am a harsh character these days when it comes to getting fed up being disappointed by "friends". I guess your post isn't so much about friends as it is about what to do if they serve you food you would rather avoid.
