[QUOTE="KK123, post: 2473408, member: 451727"] I always think if someone has made it plain that they do not want a foodstuff as a gift because it acts like a poison to them or is liable to affect them negatively in some way, then why buy it for them, however 'well intentioned'? Would we buy a person who has struggled to give up cigarettes a packet of them?, or a person with a known nut allergy a packet of nuts?, or a gluten intolerance person a cake full of gluten? I agree with others that when a person does this knowingly and treats it casually it really does show complete ignorance or lack of care or concern on their behalf. It's different if the person had no knowledge of a person's specific health condition, then the gift would be accepted and hurriedly given away or the giver told very gently that it's a great gift...but it will make me violently ill...or words to that effect of course! I think diabetes is just about the one and only condition where people think it's appropriate to make light of a serious situation. Edited to add, written after the above post! Snap. [/QUOTE]
