A few years back I was in the hospital for 10 days plus 7 in-patient rehab. While I wasn’t diabetic, I was eating LCHF. I managed to dictate my menu. The dietician wasn’t happy but I stuck with tuna salad and Swiss cheese for lunch and dinner and eggs wit sausage for breakfast. Supplemented by bunless cheeseburgers and naked chicken wings delivered by friends and family.

It was was difficult to convince the staff but I kept repeating I ate sugar-free and couldn’t eat gluten. That went a long way to helping convince them.

I just about freaked when they gave me an IV if sugar water before surgery! I balked and hey removed the IV until I was knocked out. Instead of 3 hours before surgery. ugh!!!
