Cake ban

I probably was being a bit unreasonable I think.

This afternoon we were invited to DM as dsis was there and db and his wife and dcs. Usually for this sort of thing dm gets cakes,biscuits etc.

I said we would go but that there were to be no cakes/biscuits etc at all as dd2 has type 1 diabetes, her blood sugar was high and she had already had a correction injection in the morning so although if she had wanted a cake we could have given another injection, it rarely works out how it should and she either has blood sugar too high or if we misjudge it goes too low.
Dd2 is four and so would want a cake if everybody else was having one even if we explain why she couldn't and probably would have wanted more than one as the other children always have a couple.
DM said it was fine (which surprised me as she can be a bit difficult at times) but I could tell she felt awkward just offering drinks.

I've been thinking about it and I keep wondering if I was bu or if what I did was ok given the circumstances?

Poor little mite, there is a medical reason why she's medical and tearful and yet still people think a bunch of close family couldn't have missed cake for one afternoon. It won't be forever, hopefully it will get under control but while it's not under control, I'd expect close family to be understanding. A party or at school is different.

I don't think you're unreasonable, no.

She's young, struggling with it and I don't think it's too much to ask for close family to support you and her with this.

My eldest daughter is coeliac, when we visit my family they go to huge lengths to ensure there's stuff she can enjoy - my mum always makes a gluten free cake that we can all eat
