Executive Chef
The one time that I hosted a dinner party with a diabetic, I made 2 desserts (not unusual for me to make more than one) One was a regular dessert and one was a bowl of very colorful in season fruit with soft, lightly sweetened whipped cream draped over it in a pretty bowl. This way there was something for the diabetic, that didn't look like a special dessert for a diabetic, it just looked pretty and tasted good. I also made sure that there was a good mix of veg at dinner that they weren't all starchy. I left it up to the person with diabetes to choose what they wanted and could have, and avoid the bread if they chose.
They didn't request any special treatment, I just wanted to give them options without making it obvious that I was catering to the diabetic in the bunch.
