Closed Require restaurant food to be labelled with carbohydrate content for diabetics

Closed on

As a type 1 diabetic I find it extremely hard to work out exactly how much insulin I need to inject when eating fast food. Guessing my insulin means I may under or over inject insulin which has a huge affect on my glucose levels.

Unstable glucose levels can have a huge effect on diabetics.

The NHS spend over £1.5m an hour on diabetes or 10% of the NHS budget.

1 in 16 people have diabetes in the UK which is over 4 million!

It’s a condition that is on the rise which impacts lives.

Severe Complications can occur from poor control - Heart, liver, kidney, eye and circulation problems are just a few.
