Yeah, I usually try to grap the very end of the spoons/spatulas/tongs where it looks as though no one has touched it. I too find it hard to walk in a place where you are using serving materials that someone touched after coughing on their hand. I, however, am probably much more overboard than most when it comes to the subject. Generally I do not eat at, or enjoy eating at buffets. I was just trying to make my point that you should not restrain from going to buffets, or eating certain things simply because you are diabetic.
