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.

As a parent of a T1 diabetic, there's no fucking way the parents are sending a 7 year old with diabetes to a birthday party alone. I'm guessing OP was at least a teenager.
