Folks with nut allergies have the same obligation diabetics have ~ namely, READ THE LABELS. And if there are no labels, don't take the risk!

I read every label. If it says as much as 2g carbohydrates per "serving", I don't eat it!

Exposure to the oil vapor is enough in the case of peanuts. Eating isn't necessary.

I agree, it's your life to lose.


I just had some pie yesterday that had 51g of carbs...

I don't do it often...

Otherwise I gain weight...

Get an insulin pump! You can then eat what you want, when you want regardless of how many carbs are in it. You just bolus for the amount of carbs you are eating. You can then drink sodas, eat cookies or ice cream, whatever - whenever.

Apparently you don't understand. Some people with peanut allergies can die from airborne peanut allergins, or from touching something that someone who handled peanuts has touched. Every year, kids die at schools from contamination of playgroud equipment or of school bus benches.

My son almost died from eating pizza at a Chucky Cheese in Florida. We read the ingredient list. A lot of kids had emergencies in the area. It turned out the flour had been contaminated with peanut dust at the flour factory.

Type 1 or type 2? (Just curious. My son's newly diagnosed and I'm always looking for advice.)
