[QUOTE="PenguinMum, post: 2473357, member: 461597"] I tell anyone that I am going to be eating with that I don’t eat carbs esp the starches which I explain are any form of bread, potatoes, rice or pasta because they send my BG soaring. Its usually ok except when we choose somewhere for lunch (hasnt happened often since the pandemic) I won’t agree to certain chains (Noodles, pizza, pasta, etc) and often choose Cotes where I have some choice. I have now reached an age where I am not doing something harmful to myself because it inconveniences someone else. The best line I find is “I am effectively allergic to carbs and if I had a nut allergy I wouldn’t go anywhere near them”. It used to be the same with coeliac which people used to confuse with wheat free (perceived as just being cranky) which is just not the same thing at all. Tbf most of the people I know now accept my eating requirements. We did get some chocolates for Christmas and biscuits but they are destined for the food bank hopefully a birthday smile for someone.
