Wow! My heart goes out to you. I would be very, very worried. I will be watching to see suggestions for how to get around this problem. One of my fears is that I will end up in hospital for some reason and they will feed me like that. I know the dietician at the diabetes education classes had similar ideas, although even she did not advocate quite that much carb. A diabetic meal in hospital can be much more carb rich than I usually eat.

Do they let him monitor his blood sugar? Can you smuggle him in appropriate foods? Is he able to keep up a little activity to help burn some carbs? Maybe his doctor will write a letter requesting a diet adjustment??????

I think you are right to worry. Even for those who advocate eating more carbs, it cannot seem right to become inactive with illness and suddenly start eating more carbs, can it?

Your dad needs an advocate to help him work this out and he is lucky to have you!

Hang in there.
