[QUOTE="Draco16, post: 2408563, member: 467776"] I signed it as anything that highlights to politicians the challenges faced by insulin dependent diabetics is good. Eating out and carb content I find a minefield. Plus timing! Is it coming in 5 minutes, 15 or 50?! (for pre-bolusing). But if passed it would certainly be amended to exclude small and independent establishments, which is fair enough as I agree it would be too onerous for them. We then have the choice of dining at those smaller places or not (or workarounds such as picking a regular easier dish that you stick to, or leaving some of the meal uneaten once you've reached a carb limit (having seen it, the portion size and thus carb counted after its been served), etc. 250 employees is the limit for the pending calory labelling information in April 2022. Just use that legislation and make publication of the carb content a requirement alongside the calories (they'll obviously know the carb data already, so there is nothing extra for them to do, other than add the text to the menu).
