| |  Would you like to stay in a diabetic hotel?
Hi all....I was wondering if you would like to stay in a hotel specially designed for diabetic people.
All menus are for diabetic people...All facilities and everything....Would you like such a place for holiday?
I will be happy if you can give your opinions...  |

| | | I'm puzzled at how this would be any different from a normal hotel. Firstly, most hotels don't have a restaurant in them. Those that do, are fancy, and offer a large variety of options of food. There will always be something a diabetic can eat in a variety of ways.
Secondly, if you wantt o talk about Fitness, most hotels offer a fitness center. I can't think of any in our city (we have 18 currently in 7.7 square miles with 2 more being built soon) that do not offer a fitness center except for the cheapo ones (Red Roof Inn comes to mind first.)
I just don't see how this would be any different than a normal hotel.

| | | To be honest that is something that I would hate!
For some strange reason it just makes me think of a hospital or convalesence home.
Diabetes is just something that I have and I don't like it to control my life, and as the others have already mentioned - there is no issue usually in a well appointed hotel anyway. Heck I don't even have problems accomodating my coeliac disease with most hotel menus.

| | | Well, everything that had to be said had been said.
The only thing that hotel usually miss is Canderel or Splenda. If u want to have a diabetic friendly hotel, just make sure u provide some.
I think u should focus on providing for other disabilities such as blinds, deaf and hard of hearing, wheelchair users, etc...

| | Is this diabetic hotel a type 1 or 2 hotel? 
Why the heck would anyone wish to be made to feel different by being labelled and treated differently from any other person?

| | | I think if you wanted to "accomodate" us, you'd have to offer a mini (inexpensive! :****mate: ) drugstore for those who forget or run out of items while on trips (i.e. meters, strips, etc.), and have a mini pharmacy to fill prescriptions should a mishap occur. Other than that, I can't see Any reason to have a "Diabetic Hotel."
I'm not big on this idea either & since it's not being well-received, it's time to close this thread.
