During a recent short stay in hospital (not diabetes-related) I was shocked by the menu options that were marked as suitable for diabetics. The worst offender was rhubarb crumble and custard! I understand that people's tolerances vary, and that many are pretty clued-up about what they can or cannot eat, but surely hospital food choices should be completely idiot-proof? People who have been recently diagnosed, or those with poor control, should not be encouraged to take a chance on such foods. Especially as they are, presumably, ill already. What a missed opportunity to educate diabetes sufferers on safe food choices.
