Message: <blockquote data-quote="BooJewels" data-source="post: 1052049" data-attributes="member: 181094">My parents are both unfortunately in hospital at the moment - different ones 30 miles apart - and are both diabetic.  They can only choose meal options on the sheet with the correct symbol adjacent (and if they choose other items, which I did on their behalf one day, it gets changed back by staff).  They're not allowed sandwiches or potatoes, but are allowed orange juice as a starter and ice cream or low fat fruit yogurt as a dessert - but not actual fruit.  Their only breakfast options are toast, cornflakes or porridge.  They won't let my Dad home as his BG has rocketed and they've been giving him rapid insulin with his porridge.   Go figure!Thankfully my GP practice and DN have been advocating low carbing for the last 20 years, which is the only reason I've stayed with them, they're pretty useless in every other regard.</blockquote>
