Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="Romola" data-source="post: 121324" data-attributes="member: 16967">Our WI decided to take up an offer from Hintlesham Hall to go as a party for either lunch or afternoon tea.  I had my name down, looking forward to a special lunch, but the committee had decided to opt in for the tea.The tea would have been very nice - but it comprised sandwiches, scones, cake etc made from refined white flour.I said that I would have come if it had been the lunch, but sadly had to turn down the tea.  Sypathetic noises made - but I said not to worry - I don't do too badly for meals out etc.The thing that got me was that two other ladies, who I know have T2 diabetes enthusiastically put up their hands to go along.  I asked them later if they had realised what would be available, and they both said "That's all right dear, we just won't have any jam on our scones, so we'll be fine."Now, I am not a low carber by the standards around here - but like everyone who controls their bg successfully, I restrict my carbs.  I do eat cake, scones, chocolates etc - but only small amounts at any one time.Was I being over cautious in turning down the outing?</blockquote>
