Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="Outlier" data-source="post: 2753355" data-attributes="member: 550046">I feel for you - this is so common and so unnecessary.When I was last in for something completely different, being diagnosed with diabetes at the same time didn't make any difference to the type of food I was offered. Luckily I already had a working knowledge of suitable food due to a relative being T2. Breakfast was impossible - toast or cereal, as said above. Lunch and dinner usually offered a salad option or meat/fish with vegetables, but I could have cried the day the veg. were carrots, peas and sweetcorn. I had to go with what there was, but if there is next time I will see to it that I have enough money to buy a fry-up at the caff (relies on being mobile so not for everyone), take some items such as nuts in with me, and ask visitors to bring suitable food. And a flask - though we had water on offer, normal fluid otherwise was 1 cup of tea or coffee twice a day. That is arguably good enough, but doesn't encourage spoilt little first-worlders like me to drink!</blockquote>
