Hi,
Two of my children are diabetic and want to go & have dinner with their friends. They are both quite young (infant school age) and are unable to perform their own injections, so it means that I need to be there when they eat so I can inject them. I was just wondering what parents do in this siutation as far as food is concerned. We carb count at home, but I don't think I should expect one of their friends parents to do this or should I ?. Should I just give them a list of things which would be suitable and roughly show a portion size/quantity, or do most people find that other parents are happy to weigh the food. I know I will be there when they eat, and I could help to plate up their food, but I don't want to make it difficult for their friends parents in case it just becomes to much hassle for them to invite my kids over. I'm sorry if this seems a silly question to ask, but they go back to school in Sept and I want to be prepared when the situation arises. Thank you.
