Good evening all!
I am getting married next year and would like to get a cake that I can actually eat! Would anybody be able to point me in a direction of places that do diabetic friendly wedding cakes?
Much love xxx
Eat a slice and enjoy it! You are allowed occasional treats and your wedding day is something to be enjoyed regardless of your diabetes.Good evening all!

If you really don't fancy a traditional cake then M&S do a 3 tiered cheese celebration cake! Also pork pie one too.![]()
I would love to have a slice of normal cake but when my bloods are up I get soooooo thirsty I will just feel ****! Don’t fancy dashing to the loo every 10 mins! Especially when there playing agadoo!!!![]()
Yes, it’s true apparently I am a mysterious case... there could be a chance I’m on insulin at that point so I’ll have to wait for the results to come back on that one!
Next time you see your doctor, I suggest you tell him about your wedding, if you haven't already. I am not saying it will change anything on the medical side (and it shouldn't) but it could help increase the rapport, and that is important with a condition like diabetes.
I will give you an example. For some reason I lucked out and ended up with a really empathetic doctor (who also knows his stuff!). As I was walking out of his surgery a couple of weeks ago he told me a story. He said one of his patients had T2D and, like me, had been managing his condition successfully (in this case for several years) with diet-only.
Then came the bad news: his HbA1c shot through the roof (it rose to more than 12% or 108) at a regular six-monthly check. The guy asked my doctor: "What can I do? I'm getting married next week, then going on honeymoon!"
My doctor's answer: "Congratulations. Go and get married. Enjoy your honeymoon. We'll deal with it when you get back."
This is actually a very brave thing for a doctor to do. It would be understandable if Dr. K. had "covered his backside" and loaded the guy with drugs. He chose to do otherwise.
I don't know if this helps. Some people are much more anxious about their condition than others, and (understandably) other people really need to "play it safe."
I am a very anxious person with my diabetes. This is because I have recently also been diagnosed with stage 3 retinopathy and I think that my “YOLO” days are almost up.
It’s okay, a lot of people do the yolo thing I just can’t help but look at my sister and think s**t that could be me if I’m not careful!
That is understandable, and wise. I hope that your medical uncertainty gets clarified a bit by your doctor soon.
Me too!!!!
What's YOLO?
You only live once
