Folks with nut allergies have the same obligation diabetics have ~ namely, READ THE LABELS. And if there are no labels, don't take the risk!

Apparently you don't understand. Some people with peanut allergies can die from airborne peanut allergins, or from touching something that someone who handled peanuts has touched. Every year, kids die at schools from contamination of playgroud equipment or of school bus benches.

My son almost died from eating pizza at a Chucky Cheese in Florida. We read the ingredient list. A lot of kids had emergencies in the area. It turned out the flour had been contaminated with peanut dust at the flour factory.

Best keep your kid at home. We even have peanuts growing wild around here!

Now, about Chuckie Cheese ~ I don't recall it having any labels! On the other hand it is formulated such that if a kid turns it upside down the stuff stays stuck to the dough side.

Diabetics don't (shouldn't) eat pizza anyway, and certainly not the special ingredients in Chuckie Cheese.

The good news is Smirnoff Ice supposedly has no carbs. On the other hand it still has alcohol and that can be a problem for folks with liver or kidney damage from diabetic conditions.

I was thinking of buying some and seeing if I could evaporate the alcohol.
