Hello everyone,
First time on this site but had to add to this discussion, as food is SO important for a diabetic.
My son (8) was diagnosed with type 1 and we left hospital before the week was up as the food choices were so appalling for a diabetic. He was then diagnosed with coeliac disease and even just after his endoscopy/biopsies there was no food made available to him that was gluten free apart from high sugar content yogurts , so I am not a fan of hospital food and pity anyone who has to struggle with imparting information re diabetes / coeliac disease or anything else for that matter to staff who don't understand/care.
That said we have received excellent care from the doctors/ nurses we have seen, and they are plentiful as we have been in and out of hospital for the last 9 months!!
I've said my piece now, phew, that feels better.
Lucy
