[QUOTE="KK123, post: 2409056, member: 451727"] I for one, am glad that there are no 'diabetic foods', what exactly would it consist of anyway, lower 'sugar', fewer 'carbs' or simply no puddings on the menu? People with diabetes are normal people as far as I am concerned, they do not require any 'special' food and if anyone told me that 'here you go, you should be eating that, here's your special menu' I wouldn't be happy about it. Having said that, it would be nice if places had a wide variety of foods, some could be lower carb for example for those that prefer it, diabetic or not, some could be vegetarian for those that want that, again diabetic or not, some could be meat only. All any of us really want is a wider choice which then allows us to pick for ourselves dependent on our wishes. Labelling something 'for diabetics' means classing us as a breed apart, or all the same, or all requiring a set menu, and there are so many differences between us all that it would be meaningless.
