[QUOTE="Deleted Account, post: 1934652"] To start with, I have to say I do not eat low carb and do not believe there is such a think as a "diabetic diet" or even catering for "diabetic patients". There is such a thing as low carb diet but this is not specific to people with diabetes or something everyone with diabetes eats. Given there is a choice, I do not think this is too bad. You don't have to tick potatoes, sandwiches, bread rolls, ... You can have steak and kidney pie and leave the pastry You can have cheese and biscuits and leave the biscuits You can have omelette or vegetarian sausages or salad You can have mixed vegetables and pick out the lower carb ones Just like when eating at home or eating out, when you eat a specific diet (low carb, vegetarian, gluten free, ...) you have to be a bit more creative. Whilst I do not limit my diet, there is one thing missing from this menu which I would like to see - the carb count for the dishes. For those eating low carb it will assist with decisions and those of us taking insulin will help with our doses. I do not expect to see it in restaurants as it would add too much overhead and inflexibility. However, in a hospital, I believe this is something they should be aware of. [/QUOTE]
