[QUOTE="CheeseJunkie, post: 864849"] Brunneria, It was also hard for me to hear that stuff on Thursday night. But I had no option to share my dietary issues with them, as the couple giving the story were paying the (expensive) restaurant bill (their celebration), and I needed to be able to justify stepping outside the set menu agreed by everyone else at the table. I don't think they were being insensitive; they are intelligent and well-educated and informed people who had experienced loss, close to them. As an aside, we did end up discussing BG monitoring, as another person at the table had several close family members who had had the big D. So the overall discussion was in general fairly helpful, and the host was very careful to ensure there were options which suited my diet. I'm still coming to terms with all of this; I got my first HbA1c on 21st April, so less than six weeks ago (and at exactly the same time as several other pretty bad life things happened). [/QUOTE]
