Probably will be again, as I have surgery pending. It is frustrating and annoying. In the past I have chosen the least carby option, which is not easy.Stress of surgery and the trauma to body, plus the  amount of drugs used all added to the raised BP and blood glucose levels. Depending on how long you will be staying in hospital, I wouldn’t think a few days of higher than usual carb content meals will impact long term on control. It didn’t for me after my last major surgery with a stay of 6 days. Is there a shop in the hospital or nearby? Or a hospital cafeteria? Alternatively, there are all sorts of online food delivery services from supermarkets, restaurants etc. If I have difficulty with hospital menu, for my upcoming inpatient stay, I will avail myself of whatever delivery service I can to provide some decent grub.Hope you can be discharged soon, and make a good recovery.</blockquote>
