kristina, when we have a gathering with lots of sweets and things I cannot eat, I just have a bit of everything or pick one or two and have a small portion. It is not going to cause too much damage if you don't make a habit of it. Also, just eat sensibly the rest of the day, so your numbers are not too high when you get there. Try to get a little exercise after it is over. Just don't stress out about it so much. My family is always trying to bring something
they think I can eat. Yesterday, one of my daughters broght a pineapple cut up with grapes mixed in....she was very proud of thinking of it, instead of cake. I just took some on my plate and told her how good it was. This morning, my BS was 114. Just take it easy on yourself and others, smile and say Thankyou, even if you don't eat what they give you.
