I am currently in hospital for a condition unrelated to my diabetes and am despairing at the lack of knowledge about what a diabetic should actually eat. I had to have porridge for breakfast yesterday as the only other choice was cornflakes, weetabix or toast - all a no-no. My b/s rocketed to 13.2. I have since moved wards and there is even less choice so have gone without. A nurse just asked me if I could eat yoghurt to which I replied that I could if it was plain, natural yoghurt. If course it was flavoured and the second ingredient was sugar with 14.9g carbs per 100g. The nurse said it's approved for diabetics! My family are supplementing my diet as best they can but my b/s remains between 12 & 13 which makes me feel horrible and will take me ages to reduce once I get home.
