What the petition asks
It's so frustrating for anybody with type 1 Diabetes to have to spend ages searching around online to find the carbohydrate information for a meal they have just eaten all because a restaurant/take-away doesn't have that information. It's extremely important to get this right.
Food establishments now have to display calorie information, so why don't they also display the carbohydrate count so type 1 Diabetics know the right amount of insulin to inject? It's hard enough as it is to count carbs as you go, however is made more difficult by not knowing exactly how much is in the food. The Internet can be misleading and conflict information so I feel this is so so important especially for health reasons. Eating out should be made more of a relaxing/enjoyable experience.
