[QUOTE="KiwiBaby2013, post: 879983, member: 93601"] When I was in hospital pregnant with gestational diabeties and a host of other complications, I was always given "diabetic" hospital food - low fat yoghurt, margarine, whole meal bread (the nurses kindly toast for you if you ask), cornflakes with low fat milk. Every dinner or lunch was with mashed potato or rice. Snacks were crackers or low-fat yoghurt. When I did my BG levels they were in the 10/11 range!! They'd never been up that high! The diabetic nurse kept telling me "balanced diet", blah blah "eat more carbohydrate in the form of rice/potatoes or grains"...I tried to get my point across about carbs and glucose....they wrote on my medical notes that I was "non-compliant". . I got my husband to bring in my own food and my levels went down. Quite shocked at the diabetic advice given by the diabetic clinic. Interestingly the non-diabetic nurses seemed to know what I was on about. [/QUOTE]
