Hi Jim...

 MR> I have been in a similar situation. My diabetes got real bad I was
 MR> amazed at what they fed me there. I told my Dr. I can't eat like
 MR> that when I get home, look what they are  giving me and see how high
 MR> the BS's are. He said, we'll just have to adjust the insulin, because
 MR> You have to eat that way.

 JW> That blows me away on two counts. First that the hospital can't come
 JW> up with more and better meal choices and second that the doctor was
 JW> so ignorant of diet basics and too arrogant to send you to a
 JW> nutritionist for some sound advise.

I can see how you feel that way Jim, Actually in a way the Dr. was right. I 
could not just up and not hardly eat anything just because I had diabetes. 
Having not been on insulin before he probably thought that now that he is 
going to be on it, he has to eat, so we will make it comfortable for him. 
This was not a license to eat what I want, but at the time, it seemed it was 
more than I should to me. After all, My BS's were still very high. The doctor 
now as time has gone by, adjusted my insulin, not always the way I would 
like. Now he does also agree with me that.... for me, cutting way back on 
carbs and eating more proteins. He has done well for me, I had a A1c of over 
13 then and now down to 6.0. Although if I even look at carbs, my BS goes way 
up. Except for rice, Bread and pasta are terrible. I guess I am just more 
sensitive. I would bet that if I were in the hospital again though and they 
fed me the diabetic diet, I would still have High BS's while there. Our diets 
are based on carbs according to the Health care people, and probably based a 
little too much on carbs along with fats for the normal american. It changes 
all the time now, just like now, You see so many tv and news stories telling 
us that Butter is good for us, along with other good fats like Olive oil etc. 
And eating eggs multiple times a week will not affect Your cholesterol unless 
You have a genetic chol problem. Our local radio/tv health reporter just 
hated to report that after having sad the opposite for so many years. 8-)
