At the bakery with uncle Dwayne
Dwayne: hey Jed would you like a toasted sandwich
Me: “thinks I’ve already had two muffins”
Me: okay, yes please(only cause I don’t want to seem rude)
Dwayne: would you like a hot chocolate
Me: ******* **** my sugars are gonna go up
Dwayne 10 mins later after that hot chocolate and sandwich, want some banana cake
Me: no thanks

That is what I do.If you don't want to eat something that is offered, you are just going to have to say, "Thanks, but no thanks."
I do the same. I also explain about the T2D and no longer injecting insulin as a reason why I can't because I would spike without the insulin. My daughter said that I don't need to give that information because 'thanks but no thanks' should be all I need to say.That is what I do.
Your daughter is right really, but sometimes people almost demand an explanation. I've tried explaining to people but most can't or don't want to understand. Sometimes I find it easier to say I have an allergy or intolerance to something which elicits more understanding (and unwanted sympathy) whereas telling someone I have type 2 diabetes sometimes gets the response of 'Well, that must be your own fault, and people like you are costing the NHS millions'. This makes me really angry.I do the same. I also explain about the T2D and no longer injecting insulin as a reason why I can't because I would spike without the insulin.

Most restaurants that I would try to attempt to eat at, the only thing I can imbibe is a glass of water!I don't explain anything unless it's really important to do so. It's my business only and I detest sharing stuff that. I am a bit fed up with going out for any meals these days as there seems to be little lchf that I am able to eat without sitting with a nearly bare plate and am running out of excuses for why I cant join my friends, I used to love to socialise, now it's a nightmare.

That would make me really angry also. When I first was diagnosed - because of the ketones, the hba1c of 125 and the huge weight loss the doctors at the hospital initially said I was T1. The doctor actually said to me - it's T1 and it's not your fault that you have it. Implying that it would be if it was T2. So it is not just members of the public who believe that.whereas telling someone I have type 2 diabetes sometimes gets the response of 'Well, that must be your own fault, and people like you are costing the NHS millions'. This makes me really angry.
