NCS diet.

What is the deal with this?? All of our diabetics are on a "no concentrated sweets" diet. Fine and dandy-they send the unsweetened tea but a pasta dinner that has 45 grams of carbs. I have a child with Type 1 and we have to count carbs. I am curious how dietary plans are developed for Type 2s

    I've worked at several facilities that did not offer ADA diets to diabetic patients because the dietary department could not comply with all the requirements. A healthcare facility could get into serious trouble with state regulatory agencies if they cannot provide the diet that is ordered.

    Instead, these patients' diet orders were liberalized to a 'No Concentrated Sweets' (NCS) diet upon admission, which is basically a regular diet without sweetened drinks or sugary desserts.

    Oy. I always love it when the pt tells me they can't eat what they have been given b/c of too many carbs. Very frustrating. I won't even get started with very few differentiating between DMI and DMII. My 9 year old knows more about Type 1 than most nurses.
