Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="cugila" data-source="post: 78343" data-attributes="member: 15325">I tell anyone who asks I am a Diabetic. Why would you want or need to hide this fact ? It is just a condition I have .   This then usually prompts a discussion as to what is permissible Diet wise. A lot of confusion then starts as they all seem to think that cutting out sugar is all you need to do......wrong !!I recently booked a Hotel and asked about the breakfasts. I informed them I was Diabetic and was told ,yes we can give you fruit juces, cereals, fresh bread, toast, sugar free spreads etc.  He was very surprised when I told him I couldn't possibly eat that sort of food ?  It was not good for ME.  We then had a discussion and hit on a breakfast menu that suits me fine. This man's mother is a Diabetic. He was very interested in my diet control and was looking forward to a chat about it when I get there later this year.  Might get another convert there ?  So. Just tell anybody you wish. Do not hide away from reality.Ken.</blockquote>
