Sincerely sorry to read, how concerning re menus no monitory etc., difficult to guide to you, reading between the lines, to ensure whatever help assistance, going forward albeit it another hospital possible nursing home those institutions are specialized dealing with Diabetes patients in particular up to date, with best possible foods and diet, menus for your Brother, sometimes a 10 min talk with someone legal, to inform concerns, may put you in the right direction, guide recommendations as to any known institutions best to deal with in best interests of your brother.
Frustrating to read hospital with patient of uncontrolled diabetes not offering diabetic specialized foods, only last week I experienced similar situation Hospital Palma, waiting for 8 hours for my husband to be attended forced to eat from Hospital canteen restaurant, due to time lapse situation, keeping in mind the hospital has diabetics inhouse, as patients, diabetics probably visit loved ones and friends, yet on the canteen menu and restaurant were there any foods available for diabetics or pre available, non that I could see, it was all white breads, cakes, fruit layden yogurts not natural, spagetti dishes, rice dishes, fresh fruit offered, apple, pineapple available, meat and fish dishes with potatoes, or pasta yes it could be argued one could take their own foods if knowing visiting a Hospital, professionally a hospital catering department should take on board many who may purchase foods may be diabetic and at least supply a minimum if only one dish or two for those clientel. Myself, there was nothing absolutely nothing I could eat or choose from, ended up with purchasing bottle of water. No problem I intermittent fast many days, but the point of concern Hospitals do not seem to understand, see the vital importance need to address their catering department regards foods generally to incorporate menus especially for those with insulin sugar would it be too much to ask they offered spagettis made with spiralized courgette with tomato sauce for example, cost wise, it probably is cheaper than the normal pasta they had on the menu, lack of imagination and more so professional care does not seem to come into the equation unfortunately. PS, I did make a formal comment of complaint regards my views on this, and have sent a letter to the Hospital in question, whether it will be viewed, actioned, noted, or just binned I dont know, probably binned, but at least having raised this point, something has been done........No doubt this is hospitals world wide that has to address this?
good luck with your Brother and he gets the required vital foods if being cared for in institute situation, in best interests of his uncontrolled diabetes to help him.
