Diabetic Treats Needed

chips & salsa
veggie tray

sushi
hummus & pita
wraps
tacos
cheese / olive / cracker tray
diet soft drink for the new guy, ask what he likes before hand

He can still bring his regular treats too. Most diabetics are used to fending for themselves.

There are low sugar candies. A diabetic can still only have one piece, but that would work. Your husband could also consider taking fruit for everyone or small bags of nuts.

Good suggestions below, especially asking the guy. I would think the guy would appreciate that his boss is thoughtful and inclusive.

I wanted to add: Hug your husband and tell him how kind he is to think of this. Many folks wouldn't. He's a good one.

We have Type 1 in our family (MIL and aunt-in-law) and are always aware of what they can and can't have, and it can be tough. Good for your husband!!

Depending on the diabetes. Sugar free, low carbs is what you want. Also Protein mixed with carb, they work very well togetther. So Bagel & Peanutbutter etc.

Good luck.

Just tell him, to ask the new guy, what he can or cannot have, per "treats." It will show he cares enough to ask, and that way you are not guessing... about what the new guy can or cannot have.

EVERY person/diabetic is different.
My late Dad, was Diabetic.

E.,
Others have given you wonderful ideas. I just wanted to add how very thoughtful it is of your husband to do what he can to also include the new guy! I'm sure your hubby appreciates you helping him come up with an idea, too :) Sure wish everyone in management positions would be like your hubby!

Lots of good suggestions here, and it's so very nice of your husband to do nice things at a time when so many companies cut back on benefits, both large and small. One thing to think about is asking him to upgrade all of the things he brings. There are probably a lot of people there who are pre-diabetic or have metabolic syndrome, so some protein snacks and low sugar alternatives would make sense for everyone. That would avoid singling out the man with diabetes and allow everyone to partake of the same things. A lot of people really don't want their medical situations "out there" so there may be others who can't enjoy what your husband is bringing. Fruit, veggie trays, and so on are probably great alternatives for everyone. Instead of chocolates, how about strawberries with a chocolate dipping sauce that some can ignore if necessary? Going for whole grain subs with turkey and swiss would be great for everyone.

I second the suggestion of asking the man what he can and cannot have. Your husband is very thoughtful!

Much depends on how severe the diabetes is, but here are a few ideas for replacements/substitutions - fruit and cheese with whole grain crackers or flatbread; pizza is okay (thin crust or whole grain crust is better); chocolate-dipped frozen bananas in place of ice cream; if bringing chocolate, hit Trader Joe's for their sugar-free chocolate almonds for the diabetic man. I usually hate sugar-free anything, but Trader Joe's chocolate almonds are really good!

Is it possible that your husband could ask the new guy about what he likes and what snacks might work for him, given his medical condition? Asking may be better than guessing, and handled well, will come across as considerate rather than nosy.

My husband is a diabetic and if its the occasional treat like what you mentions (besides the donuts or overly sweet stuff) he would probably indulge and then just bolus for the extra sugar he ate. Although he would probably pop a valentines day chocolate or whatever small. He loves subs and they dont affect him too bad. Im really glad that your husband is taking his diabetes into consideration but like I said if its occasionally or whatever he can just bring the usual. Unless he sees the new guy totally forgo everything he brought (he might be a little more health conscience than most of them)
