GD

When I was in for my induction they gave me the “cardiac” menu to choose from. Because it had friendlier options

Unfortunately they have no clue at all, when I was kept in they brought me orange juice and cake and then I had a panic attack as I had a hyper and they told me to just eat it 🙃 I was kept in for not eating enough and the menu made absolute no sense. My mum brought me food to save me the anxiety

It's a bit of a shocker, the food options in hospital are really GD unfriendly. Toast for breakfast, cake and biscuits. Even when I was in for an inpatient induction the options were pathetic. My husband brought me food instead (main meals were ok it was breakfast and snacks that were worse)

@Simone sounds like it’s different in different countries..

@Ayesha honestly it’s pathetic, knowing that’s a ward for pregnant women and majority have gd, it’s really bad they don’t have any gd friendly options! It made me feel really crappy too as I was so hungry and couldn’t eat I ended up going to M&S and getting myself food!

@Ella yes exactly, I had bread (not even toast) and they gave me jam which I had no choice but to eat as I was starving and ofc it gave me a high reading! I had a chilli con carne and it made my reading go up the highest they’ve been in the last 3 weeks!
