No one is telling anyone what to eat and not eat or how to raise funds. It is stating facts.
But specifically this is a Drs surgery inviting 90% patients that are carb challenged to come and indulge in non nutritional carbs, and I’m sure you can see the difference between this and another venue with a different demographic of invitees.
Can you seriously not see the message it is sending to these particular people - eat sugary junk food with our blessing and disregard the effects it has - and the educational message it fails to send.
It doesn't say that either. The extent of the OP's contribution to this thread is here:
Yes, I agree it states all diabetics are being invited, but what percentage of the surgery population does that represent. Even it is were 90%, it is surely up to the individual to decide what they will eat, or in this case buy; whether for themselves or someone else.
At said cake sales at my GP surgery, the PPG Chair's wife is an excellent baker. I buy her cream, Victoria sponges for my OH. I just don't get the same fluff-factor.
My OH isn't living with T2, is 75, still wearing 32" waist jeans, and with a natural A1c in the low 30's eating whatever takes his fancy. He does have a very good "off, enough button", so why would I try to limit what he might care to enjoy.
Looking at what folks on here eat and drink, there is a great diversity, even amongst T2s. I am strictly gluten-free, so baked goods aren't in my life. I chose not to seek alternatives to glutenous flours when I can get along happily without, but others I have observed having the odd cake, say, on holiday, or sharing a desert with dining companions. Those are their choices, and I respect them, even if they don't always align with my own.
Each to their own, but I wouldn't want to be excluded from anything because I have a diagnosis of diabetes.
