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

Naturally they provide food for the vast majority of people who visit and unfortunately that doesn't include diabetics, although Vegan and Gluten free options are very well accounted for. I absolutely refuse to pay vast prices for a salad which is inevitably out of a bag and washed with chemicals to keep it fresh and then to cap it off some sort of sweetened dressing, mass produced and out of a bottle. It really gets my goat! It's time they allowed us to take our own food in as long as we get a drink or something else to go with it. To be invited out for 'coffee' or lunch really is now my worst nightmare but there are 3 friends who never try to make me eat cake, they are slim and fit and even though they sometimes have a cake or scone they never even question me or try to persuade me. Never have and as far as I know they don't even know I'm diabetic. Otherwise I try to avoid meeting up now sadly. The worst is when people say - "well I won't either" if you refuse a piece of cake. That makes me feel guilty. This morning I am meeting a friend at her house who every time we meet up says "I've got cake!" I have known her for 30+ years, I can't let the friendship go but for goodness sake!! Sorry, rant over.</p></blockquote><p></p>
