This is a joke, right? 49 g of carb? Even I don't eat that many in one
meal, and I don't do low carb!

As the owner and former owner of many diabetic cookbooks, I know this all
too well. But why repost it here?

I've several times had a friend try to be "helpful" and bring me
something that's been labeled "for diabetics". This has been after I've
told her what to bring to my house for dinner (in response to "what can
I bring?"). She's brought fat-free dressing when I've told her that
anything labeled fat-free likely has too much starch, because she read
in a book that diabetics can't have a lot of fat. Based on this
experience, I'm convinced that the big market for these cookbooks and
products is helpful friends and not directly to diabetics!

were filled with almost all deserts made with lots and lots of fruit.. Toooo

Oh, do i hear you!!! all those diabetic cookbooks that family buys me for
Christmas...... then people who go to the effort of making some involved
"diabetic dessert" that doesn't taste anything like the real version would
have!

so, you smile, say thankyou very much, and when the timing is right....... i
add, you know, i really appreciate the special desert you made for me, but i
think everyone would have preferred the real thing...... i can have a SMALL
piece of the real thing and i will be delighted to enjoy the meal with you
and friends...... so, just something trying to make things fairer to
everyone at the meal table, and thank you again for your special treat.....
it was very considerate of you

what do you do (those cherries jubilee in Sweet n' Low lost a LOT in the
translation (gack!))

At least the heart is in the right place even if the knowledge isn't :-) BJ
