??????This is what was on offer to a T2 diabetic, when my daughter and her partner visited a friend on Saturday.
So hard that they provide for vegetarian, vegan, (diets of choice) plus Dairy Avoidance, Gluten Avoidance (diets of intolerance) plus Easier to chew (diets of necessity if you don't have teeth). I suppose people who choose to follow low carb to keep their BG down will at least be able to eat something.It must be hard for hospitals to provide a variety of food to suit all.
They've been mainstream for a long time nowSo hard that they provide for vegetarian, vegan, (diets of choice)
Necessary for those of us inflicted with them - mind you it can still be tricky - last time I was in hospital my breakfast was 45-60 mins later than anyone else cos they had to go find some gluten-free cereal - good job I didn't pre-bolus as normal huh!plus Dairy Avoidance, Gluten Avoidance (diets of intolerance)
Yep necessary againplus Easier to chew (diets of necessity if you don't have teeth).

Low carb - not mainstream and not seen my many doctors as useful thus far (afaik) - so until those ideas change I'm guessing the low carb options may well be limited.

Not a choice for everyone. I’m actually allergic to meat. And dairy. So that’s a medical condition that needs catering for.
Not only is the person T2 but has been diagnosed with cancer of the Kidney and high blood sugars have been interfering with planned ops.
When staff was asked do they not cater for diabetic patients the answer was no yet they cater for vegan diets and vegetarian and those with gluten intolerance.
Insane.
