good so far, caring, informative
Being a type 1 diabetic I was reassured by the diabetic clinic and attention to my conditions needs. However I was shocked to find that,the menu here is not diabetic friendly. There is a good portion of the women in the maternity ward who happen to be diabetic. However cereal, white toast were offered for breakfast and sandwhiches/jacket potato or a potatoe based soup with bananas for lunch, all Carbohydrate rich. I was told I would be better off having food brought in as the food options did not support a diabetic diet. I experienced something similar in West Bromich hospital a couple of years ago but with the diabetic care available here I was shocked about the food. I have struggles to manage my blood sugar levels throughout the pregnancy affecting.the growth of my child. I worried enough at home about what I consumed. I do not need this added stress in the hospital environment where I am essentially incapable of affecting a change untill I receive visitors and more suitable food.
