[QUOTE="TheSparkyPony, post: 179984, member: 24740"] It was (supposedly) Irish Stew! :lol: I have to admit, I love my local hospital's roast dinner on a Sunday (although I may be biased as I never have such a luxury at home!) but most of it is shocking. As a T1 diabetic, I was berated for not wanting to eat breakfast (apparently I HAVE to eat, because I'm diabetic :roll: even though I haven't had breakfast for years, it's just how I roll and I treat accordingly). I was given high carb lunches/dinners 'to keep my strength up' and was then questioned when my levels were higher later on and accused of eating brought in food! I wasn't allowed to adjust my dosages as all drug changes had to be approved by a doctor so the set doses weren't enough for what they were giving me. The only thing that [i]truly[/i] annoys me is the budget. The fact that prisoners eat better than patients, who, at the end of the day, need to recover, which is aided by eating healthy, nutritious food. [/QUOTE]
