This might not be as bad as it is now in the future?
Most Indian sweets are made with chickpea flour and cream or butter/ghee and far less sugar than processed pastries and American cakes and cookies.
And there's one made out of carrots with no added sugar that you could probably eat now and not break your diet.
This recipe -- http://curiouslyravenous.blogspot.com/2008/01/carrot-halwa.html -- for carrot halwa has 2 T of sugar in it, but you can make it w/o sugar and possibly find it for sale w/o it.
They're soaked in honey, or sweet rosewater, or whatever, though -- and I know I've got to stay away from that. And carrots are on the verboten list for me right now.
I was talking to my "yeast control except I eat corn and pasta when I feel like it" coworker, and he asked whether I could crank up the antifungals (either prescription drugs or herbs and supplements) in exchange for a less restrictive diet. I'll ask my doctor about the tradeoffs involved. I would dearly love to be able to "cheat" sometimes.
Both management-provided and random staff thoughtfulness. Somebody will drive by a bagel place and think "Hmm, haven't had bagels in the office for a while" and pick up three dozen.
I've started to ask management to include some friendly options, with mixed success. At the pizza and ice cream party I was simply too late; the order had gone in. Other times they probably have tried. I don't really blame them. I seriously can't eat most things. Order from a Chinese restaurant -- oh, what'll CJ do? -- how about the kung pao chicken? 'Cept it doesn't work. I probably can't eat anything at all from oh, 90% of the restaurants we order from. It's no surprise it's not working out.

If the former, perhaps you could ask management to include some CJ-friendly options, and give 'em a list?
If the latter... maybe there's a way to educate those folks too?
