Who will you be giving Diwali sweets to?
While everyone celebrating Diwali begins the festivities in their homes preparing for the festival of lights, one mother is facing facts about this 'sweet' holiday.

Today is the auspicious festival of lights, Diwali, and many Hindu families will prepare a box of sweet treats to share with friends and family. It is an exciting time for families to celebrate the spirit of giving and sharing in good food and company.
One of the many things people love around this time of year is the abundant sweet treats that arrive in a prettily decorated box.
Those celebrating prepare the boxes and hand them out with treats to their friends and family. But one mother made an excellent point, and we thought it was worth mentioning.
It was humorous, but it also raised a valid point. Almost all the sweet treats in the Diwali box are sweet, so what happens to people who suffer from diabetes? Should we not consider a low-sugar option for them?
