Absolutely fair enough, you need to do what you're comfortable with. I'm just a strong believer in the expert patient/parent of patient! in chronic disease management, and think we need to be empowered to make our own decisions.x

Put it down to experience and move on, You are doing absolutely the right thing by monitoring and recording her results and you will learn as you go but you must remember that even the most 'perfect' T1s will have spurious highs/lows and forget things like IOB occasionally.
And perhaps mention it to the 'suspects' that if any of them want to give her a treat it's ok and you appreciate the gesture but they must let you know so you can adjust for it?

Yes I think I need to point this out to them, yes of course you can treat her with chocolate just let me see the packet so I can give her insulin for it
Things really haven't change that much since I was a kid..
I would like to see these health professionals try to manage their own diabetes for a while with what they preach..
In fact. I'd quite happily offer myself up for them to manage for 3 months in a controlled environment..
They'd soon have to revise the tactics & attitude...
