[QUOTE="Mandysmith, post: 1590987, member: 201155"] I was in last year for nearly a week - have congenital heart disease and AF too. Diet options were appalling. I'm on a basal : bolus regime so can adapt. However, not sure why I should have to adapt to their lack of knowledge. We bought them a copy of 'think like a pancreas' for the ward. They were labouring under the impression that diabetics shouldn't have pudding but could have 2 large baked potatoes!!!! They wouldn't let me see either the dietician or the catering manager, so I wouldn't let them have my insulin or other medications and also wouldn't let them do my bg levels. Not a lot they can do if you consistently say "no, go away!!!" has to be said that often heart wards are just as ignorant, things like "you're too young to have heart problems" etc etc. It's not the lack of knowledge that infuriates me, it's the lack of willingness to learn. Sorry. - long post. Sore point!!! [/QUOTE]
