Would you offer candy to a diabetic ?

Of course not! I would not offer a diabetic something that is bad for him/her because that only shows that I don't care for that person and that I want him/her to die the soonest! Sometimes, some people think that we don't love them just because we restrict them or we don't give them what they want. We like the best for the people we love, so we work for their well-being. I would just say, "You know I love you so I can't give this to you."

no i will never do that... i will have to remind her of her condition... i will explain to her that it's not right... and if she continue eating those, it will just make her condition worse... we also have to understand them but to tolerate wrong doing is never a good idea. we know that even one candy could make one's sugar level rise... i think the best way to keep her from getting upset is to avoid showing her those foods... and if you are eating, just stay out of her sight...

My mom is a diabetic, she eats junk she isn't supposed to eat. It keeps her sugar up alot of the times and she has to take medication to get it down. Mom loves her junk and I tell her i love her and she needs to not eat or drink the junk cause it is like poison to a diabetic.

People offer me candy all the time, and I just say, "No, thanks." We don't need to discuss my diabetes. I asked a friend who knows I'm diabetic why she's always offering me candy, and she said she doesn't want me to feel left out when she's offering coworkers at lunch. Another of our coworkers eats junk like that all the time, and she's diabetic. About six weeks ago, she was hospitalized in a diabetic coma, and while there she not only didn't eat the wrong things; she lost 25 pounds. For the first time in years, she doesn't feel sick all the time, and she's not constantly shooting more insulin. Maybe now she'll decline the offers, too! Each of us has our own choices, so the offer should be made, and a diabetic can decide whether to make herself sick or not. If it's otten to the point of imminent danger, she knows what to do, and musse what she'll do about it. Sorry about the ramblingI'm sleepy.

If they asked ME for something and I was eating it and they knew it was bad for them anyway, I would NOT tell them no. It's rude to go around making a decision for another person when it's their right to handle it however they want.

i was diabetic when I was pregnant with my son so I have real sympathy for anyone with the disease. And I have been caring for my mother in law for about a month now. She fell and broke her hip. She has type II diabetes and her sugars were off the charts while she was in rehab/nursing home. Now they are much more regular, none over 300. She had chocolate brownies last night and today. After eating one today she played with her wii for exercise. When she took her blood sugar before dinner it was 158. So you see diabetics can have some sugar sometimes if they exercise, adjust their food accordingly, and take their meds properly. I know when she goes home she will not eat right, probably gain weight, and be back to having crazy readings! To answer your question, I would lovingly caution them on their sugar intake and then offer!

Well, from someone who is Insulin Diabetic, it would depend on the situation if I should be offered or eating something Sweet, etc. as well. Many people out there still have pre-conceived ideas about what is Good and Bad for a Diabetic, and are always concerned. But for me, I crave Chocolate. It for me helps when I get a Migraine as well, so I always try to keep some around. But I am always judged as well when I eat it. Well, if you really care about your friend, and do not want to offend them, then maybe you need to approach it from a caring point and try to help them see that they should be eating a little more healthier as well, and then remember as well, how would you feel if it was you. But it is a hard decision, and really one to reflect on and decide what is best for everyone out there as well.

hi take this name yes we diabetics can eat c andy and some junk food contrary to you non diabetics info. we have to count it into our daily carbcount so yes some diabetics will ask for a piece of candy or a burger or fries. We most of us are diligent in what we eat but we are human beings too and depriving us teetotally works against us. to have that piece of chocolate or candy mint or whatever, and wo rk it into our daily allotment of carbs make for a much happier life. nobody likes to be totally deprived of all the little extras of life.common sense being used and some exercise too, yes we can have a small pieceof candy or a half cup of ice cream or one cookie or a servings of french fries as long as our blood glucose level is kept to a certain level. The key is a little piece of something, moderation in all things.So I would just say to a diabetic can you fit this into your carb count to day, if so here share some with me

it depends.In case a diabetic person becomes hypoglycemic then you really need to offer a candy because that person badly needs it.Such is a complication of a diabetic person in which a person may feel dizziness,it means the sugar in the body is low,giving candy is necessary,just a first aid intervention before everything gets into worst.

No I wouldn't offer a diabetic things that might them sick, and if they asked me I think I would tell them that I care about them, and that I dont want them to get sick and I would just hope they understand my reasons and stop asking me for those kinds of foods, because I wouldn't want to contribute to there illness by giving them that stuff.
