diabetic child at dd1s birthday party - what treats to eat?

[Enideepmidwinter]

one of the little girls in dd1s class is diabetic (I have just remembered, 7 hours before party). Her mum didnt mention anything when she accepted the invite.

Is there anything special I can make for her to eat?

have u got the mums number, how old is the girl? i think as long as she doesnt eat just the icing on the cake she should be ok. if she is running around with the others she'll need a bit extra sugar anyway cos otherwise she'll have a hypo.

no I dont have her number sadly.

so I might take the pink sugar icing, liberally studded with jelly beans, off the cake first ?

lol, nah just make sure its not the only thing she eats. sandwiches i think are good (brown bread), and a pasta dish as they are slow realease i think. trying to remember all my diabetic stuff from last year.

well I was going to do sausages and chips, cucumber and cherry tomatoes

maybe I'll get some brown bread in and sandwich stuff in case she doesnt like sausages

sauage and chips will be fine. sounds fun to me lol.

they are going to the pantomime to see snow white first

10 kids! help

Enid - I'm not an expert but a balanced meal is usually OK

Sausage and chips with veg is lovely and don't think it will be a problem

Neither will the cake

Her mum wouldn't have accepted if she thought her DD wouldn't be able to eat anything

It will be OK - I promise

Just check with her mum as she is dropped off (and ask about drinks - fresh juice/water/fizzy) and you will be fine

oh good

panicked there for a moment

as dd1 casually mentioned it over pancakes 'oh by the way kate has special blood and can't have sugary stuff'

panic over. lol.

Was it OK?
