Pineapple upside down cake - pure EVIL

[Guest guest]

My grandfather in law's birthday party - I ate grilled chicken

breast, a 1/2 cup of potato salad, and maybe 2 tablespoons of baked

beans. Skipped the corn, rolls, etc. Had a slice of pineapple

updsidedown cake after dinner. 2 hours later my BG was 190! I blame

the cake. I wish I had taken my BG before dinner, darn it.

How do the rest of you handle holiday meals? When I cook my own food

I can measure and track everything, but other people's cooking? Who

knows? Is it rude to bring your own food (diet pop, sugar free

dessert, etc) to a family gathering? If they don't cater to my needs

I may have to.
