I had an op for breast cancer last week and previously had heard soo many scare stories about treatment by the NHS.
So I was wary but I couldn't have been treated better from start to finish. I had the choice to go private through work but I chose not to as the time difference was only a few days...mammogram to diagnosis to operation was 5 weeks. It was a day op and I was admitted to a ward after the operation where I was told that once I had some fluids and eaten that I could go home but only if I felt I was okay to do so, there was no pressure. I was given an egg sandwich which I didn't want as hunger wasn't an issue but I was grateful for.....it may not have been my choice [bread!] but it meant I could go home and after all, the people who bring round your food are not specialised in what diabetics should and shouldn't eat, they deliver what they're given !
There's so much conflicting advice about what we diabetics should and shouldn't eat at the moment, the staff in the NHS must find it very difficult as the dietary changes are only just starting to filter through....most of us diabetics have learnt that low carb is best for us but until they realise I don't think we can blame them.
Blimey - I do hope you're recovering well.
