[QUOTE="Sean01, post: 1347119"] I was in hospital on 4 occassions over the summer - kidney stone, kidney stone infection and various other complications. On my first admission to hospital I was out of my head in pain and my blood sugars were through the floor. They offered me a sandwich. I said that I wanted to go home and nearly made it back to my car before I was threatened with being arrested - by a police officer, by attempting to drive whilst being totally incapacitated. he was right. Seconds later I collapsed into a wheel chair and was taken back to hospital and a cheese roll - my first taste of bread in nearly a year. Low carb is working for me. I had similar hospital menus - absolutely unsuitable. Blood sugar regularly exceeding 12 - which the staff said was fine/understandable despite my own concern that it was not. (There is inadequate diabetes training in hospitals.) Third visit to hospital, my wife was bringing me my meals. On the 4th visit, I was more mobile (just in for observation) - the nurses were happy for me to eat in the staff cafeteria - fry ups with lots of eggs, bacon and sausages. - blood sugar totally under control. We are all different, but let's face it, These hospital menus are made up of comfort food. Nobody wants to eat a salad whilst they are recovering when a spotted **** and custard sounds much more fun. But that doesn't help now, does it? T2 Oct 15. Diet, metformin and exercise - 10-13 times a week, no longer loosing the fight, back to winning. [/QUOTE]
