Ideas for party food with gestational diabetes

Prism21

I've been asked to help organise a surprise baby shower for a friend who has gestational diabetes.

Can anyone help me with some ideas for buffet food? Ideally I would like the guest of honour to be able to eat everything on offer, but still present a spread of food that's appetising for her guests.

Am I right in thinking it needs to be low-carb, low- sugar food? I've been researching recipes but a lot seem to use peanut butter, almond flour - I'm not sure if pregant mums are supposed to eat nuts though?

Any suggestions gratefully received

As a diabetic, I have been told that I can eat whatever I like within reason, 1 day off is not going to do too much damage, but saying that I prefer to go for high protein at a party, things like chicken, ham, meatballs, salads, cheese, nuts, boiled eggs, crustless quiche and plain sponge cake or chocolate sponge cake can all be eaten.

Thank you BB, I will bear that in mind

And apparently now pregnant mums are encouraged to eat peanuts, a few years ago they were forbidden!
