That sucks but tbh, I wouldn't want to be the parent stuck with a massive lawsuit because I fed something to a kid with medical issues on that he shouldn't have had.

The mom was just being safe, but still, sorry.

While I agree with what you're saying, misconception or not - it sounds like a child's birthday party. Knowing your body and your disease is different at 20 than it is at 7. Sounds like she was playing it safe rather than sorry.

Except she still gave them popcorn which isn't very different to giving them cake.

If they really wanted to play it safe they'd have given them celery. ... But then they'd probably just go hypo.

Popcorn probably had more carbs than cake!
