Not so sure I'd want to show family and friends this strange video but the lad does cover some valid points.
 
Ha yes that guy makes some very good points, all sounding familier to me though 🙄

At my BIL the other day my MIL was telling people oh she cant have that she can have this, all very embarrising and she really should know better.It was only strawberries dipped in chocolate for goodness sake 🙂
 
Even though I don't agree with every word of it, it's still a good video with some good tips for family and friends.
 
I googled potato jello - the sweet potato version came with mashed potatoes, pineapple and marshmallows.
 
Interesting points though, and as a newbie I would be unsure.

What would I offer to a guest (who like me had diabetes) invited for a coffee (I take it not wine). In the past I would have had some biscuits or other snacks available.

I cant see some crackers (low carb)😱 and a few slices of pastramie being socially acceptable. No odd answers, you may be the guest:D
 
Well I'd enjoy the coffee - or indeed the wine if I didn't have to drive. Or possibly if I did LOL

Why do I need biscuits? With either?

I thought I was doing well the other day when I was able to offer a neighbour an extensive range of chocolate biscuits with her cup of tea - but it turned out she has Coeliac disease and can only eat gluten-free! 🙄

I would imagine that if your guest has diabetes, then they'd probably be happy to eat what you are happy eating 🙂
 
His other Vblog My life as a Pincushion is good too. He's on twitter @1happydiabetic for those on twitter.
