[QUOTE="mariposa84, post: 1446969, member: 87345"] Slightly different but a grumble all the same. In my first few weeks at university my tutor group were invited round to the tutor's house for a meal. He had taken the trouble to ask me beforehand if there was anything I shouldn't eat which I thought was very kind. As I was still honeymooning and following dietician's advice of carbs at every meal I said I could pretty much eat anything. He ended up serving a buffet so there was lots to pick and choose from. Then it came to pudding... He listed a range of options including ice-cream, chocolate cake, sticky toffee pudding and went round the group asking what each person wanted and served it to them. When he got to me, before I'd even had a chance to open my mouth to politely decline, he said loudly "You can't have any of this! Don't try and be naughty and say it's ok. If you eat this you're a bad diabetic. You're not allowed any sugar!" I was speechless and so embarrassed. I could feel myself turn bright red. I felt so upset, especially because some of the ppl in my group had no idea I'd got diabetes. It didn't make much of a difference to my group as it happened...They still got me a gigantic chocolate cake for my birthday the following month but they ate most of it ☺ [/QUOTE]
