[QUOTE="Archie_Lambert, post: 1553262, member: 272310"] Last year I had to stay for a month in hospital in Perth. So much of the food there was very sugary. It was impossible for me to have enough food so as not to loose weight, and to avoid excessively sugary foods. One nurse told me that the (20% sugar) yoghurt was specially for diabetics, "Look it's low fat" she said. Another informed me that the NHS always makes 'rhubarb and custard' using sugar substitutes! It really did seem to me that there were two problems going on. One was basic knowledge about diabetes amongst the staff, the other was that the same people could act as gate-keepers between me and my accessing an appropriate diet, even though the hospital's published policy was that I should have been given suitable food.
