Xmas hamper for a diabetic?

kscour · 2006-09-22 09:12:59

Was wondering if anyone had ideas for a xmas hamper for a diabetic. I don't want to use too many (if any) "treats" because I'ld like it to be a luxury hamper that you don't have to be too careful of how much you eat (hope that makes sense) Trouble is I mostly know what diabetics can't eat not what they can eat without…

Please do not give a diabetic diabetic jams or chocolate or anything else which says diabetic on it. Not only are they very expensive, but they are not all that good for them. I was told that by my diabetic nurse 15 years ago. (I feel old)

And it has a lovely laxative effect.

I haven't come across a diabetic nurse yet that hasn't said don't buy anything that claims its made for diabetics.

My OH just has normal food in moderation and has occasional treats. He would keel over if he had to have an oatcake or the likes. :rotfl:

Work like you don't need money,

Love like you've never been hurt,

And dance like no one's watching

Save the cheerleader, save the world!
