I was recently diagnosed with diabetes – requiring insulin (some sort of rare adult onset pacreas failure) so I have to avoid carbohydrates as much as possible – carbs seem to really screw with my glucose levels – like I can’t even eat a cupcake on my birthday 🙁 without shooting up to the 300s for glucose levels (if you know what that means). I’m happy to eat communally but I won’t be eating bread as any sort of staple.

And Kathleen, thanks for your email – lots of great information.
