The thing I am curious about is what exactly is in a diabetic meal? Do they just give you more food? Does it cost extra? Anyone who has ever requested a diabetic meal on an airline please let me know how it went and what I should expect.
Thanks
littlebuddy | Diabetic, vegeterian, and low fat meals have been offered for years. However, the biggest question is what airline you're flying that isn't just going to give you pretzels. Must be a long haul flight. A lot of airlines now sell meals or just don't offer them to save money.
