What a crock

I am always dumbfounded by what clients bring in from supposed diabetes experts. Let me quickly review sunday's diabetic menu from a nursing home that was given to me last week: Tomato juice, cereal and french toast w/ syrup and margarine for breakfast, salad, honey turkey, risotto, a french roll and sherbert for lunch followed by cream of spinach soup, corned beef and swiss on rye, fried potatoes and chef's choice for fricken dessert.

And you wonder why his blood sugar shot up to 300 and he had to be put on insulin?!?! If you had one single iota of awareness for blood sugar and/or any knowledge whatsoever of nutrition you would know this is the farthest thing from being diabetic friendly. Read between the lines of what they are serving these diabetic patients: sugar, salt and fat. Are you kidding me? My diabetic grandpa was psyched to be eating mac n cheese after his triple bypass surgery. It makes me sick.

As you can see from looking at this picture on the cover of a daily meal planning how to, her thumb is over the most important part: the ingredients! This is serious. The RD who gave this to my client also told her that you don't have to "count" your sugars and that wine doesn't effect your blood sugar, it only effects your triglycerides. Be serious. This is what happens when your trusted health professional is in it for the money, not because she gives a hoot about your health. Blasphemy.
