[QUOTE="purplepenguin, post: 950302, member: 202878"] I was recently in hospital for an outpatients operation on my teeth. When I came around they offered me ice cream. When I said I was diabetic and it had too much sugar they came back with a blueberry yoghurt that had more sugar in it than the ice cream. I again said I wouldn't eat it and complained fairly loudly that I couldn't believe that a hospital could not cater for a diabetic, and even worse, tried to give me sugar laden food. There was no other alternative so I told them I;d eat when I got home, to which they replied that I would not be allowed to leave unless I ate something. Luckily at this point my husband stepped in and insisted I be allowed home immediately. This is all on top of a high fasting blood of 15mmol when I had arrived that morning, and was 12 when they tested me when I woke up. I don't think I'll be allowed back! [/QUOTE]
