Question: What's a good food treat for celebrating a diabetic's birthday!?
Some friends regularly get together for "Happy Hour" every Friday and I wanted to surpise one of the folks in the group for his 50th birthday but thought a birthday cake might not be a good idea since he's Type 1 diabetic and uses insulinWww@Answer-Health@Com

Type one diabetics can eat sugar!!! PLEASE don't think you have to stick a candle in an apple or sugar free jello for his birthday!. I have birthday cake every year and wouldn't have it any other way!. Guess what--I'm still healthy!. If he's on insulin, all he has to do is give some extra insulin for the extra sugar but it won't hurt him at all, I promise!.

It used to be thought that diabetics couldn't have sugar until they realized that the sugar from a candy bar and the sugar in fruit all ended up in the same place!. He would need insulin for both things anyway, so you might as well make the day special!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Just because you have diabetes doesn't mean you can't eat sugar!. Give him the cake, don't use special treatment, if anything they'll make him feel worse!.
Give him a big cake and once you've given it to him, suggest he should inject a few extra units of insulin in before eating the cake, it should even it out and plus I'm sure he knows he needs to eat in moderation!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
