| Jul 25, 2018 at 9:49 | comment | added | Flater | Note that this could potentially open the door for non-diabetics who don't like cake to make requests too. I'm not offering an alternative solution (as this answer is the best answer for explicitly wishing to include the diabetic coworker), this is intended to merely point out potential unexpected consequences. | |
| Jul 25, 2018 at 7:08 | comment | added | Carcer | @user1666620 it does seem to be a general principle on StackExchange that a good answer to questions like these is expected to go to a little effort to explain why it is a good answer - it's not that further practical advice is required. | |
| Jul 24, 2018 at 14:50 | comment | added | user1666620 | @Snow I'm not sure what other legitimate advice there is to possibly give. Medical advice isn't suitable here, we don't know what kind of cakes the person cannot eat, hell we don't even know if the person even likes cake. The only suitable answer is to actually ask the diabetic what a suitable substitute for cake is. Just because an answer is succinct does not mean it is wrong or illegitimate. | |

| Jul 24, 2018 at 14:37 | comment | added | Nobody | @Snow By looking at the time stamps of all the answers, this one is the first one which says ask the diabetic. | |
| Jul 24, 2018 at 14:34 | comment | added | user44108 | This answer offers the same advice as other (more fully worded) answers. Consider filling out your answer with more/different advice than the other answers, or consider retracting your answer altogether. As it stands, it doesn't really add anything not provided by other answers. | |
| Jul 24, 2018 at 14:30 | comment | added | Nobody | Unless the answerer is a medical doctor, I don't know how can anyone give a better authoritative answer. Actually, I think the question may be more suitable on Health SE. | |

| Jul 24, 2018 at 13:17 | comment | added | Old_Lamplighter | One line answers can attract down-votes. (not mine). This is a legitimate answer, IMO | |
| Jul 24, 2018 at 12:59 | comment | added | user1666620 | Not sure of the reason for the downvote. How else is the OP meant to figure out what the person can eat? | |
