[QUOTE="mbudzi, post: 337417, member: 38547"] I had a similar experience - except it was a client providing me with lunches. I emailed HR to explain that because of a medical condition I had a restricted diet which for ease of understanding can be summarised as being unable to eat normal quantities of carbohydrates. I said I would be happy to provide my own lunch if an alternative was difficult to source, but I didn't want to just do this and appear ungrateful for the food they were providing. They were great about it, we picked out some foods that worked and I came clean about being diabetic. They were amazed that diabetes required such attention to what was being eaten. They thought is was all managed with drugs. So everyone a winner. Hope that helps with some ideas. [/QUOTE]
