[quote=Anonymous]Does the neighbor live alone? If the neighbor has a spouse/adult child/someone else you know -- I frankly would ask first. Nuts are a great idea BUT if someone has diverticulitis or other conditions, nuts might be out (unrelated to the diabetes). Sugar free candy is fine if you know the person likes candy, but for instance, my type 1 diabetic MIL did not really like chocolates, or hard candies, sugar-free or otherwise. Especially as the diagnosis is recent, it would be super thoughtful to reach out and ask someone who might know. If you can't, yeah, I'd go with a small assortment of nuts. OP, you are really nice to consider how to adjust your holiday tradition for your neighbor's diabetes. As someone who had a diabetic MIL for decades and a diabetic aunt-by-marriage too -- it's always appreciated by both that person and by their family when folks remember that diabetics have restrictions. Happy holidays to you, OP! [/quote]
