Do you carb count? If you know your insulin to carb ratio then you should be able to eat what you want. Of course in moderation though. i will say i test 12-15 times a day to help me with it and readjust my sugar when needed. Bring anything you want( make sure it's really hits your sweet spot though) and plan to eat just that so you already know the carb count. Oh if you eat before you go to this party you won't be as tempted to eat other desserts while your there.
That's how I've been living my life...but my doctor laid into me for it. He says that I have to eat balanced meals and snacks routinely. In other words...I am to have 3 servings of carbs per meal and 1 at bedtime, and I should plan my meals and snacks so that I'm eating at the same times everyday. I am so NOT structured and this is causing a serious damper on my day-to-day activities. That is my frustration and why this whole thing has me so upset. I guess, though, that my way hasn't been working so well...as my A1C results show.
