I have huge concerns about AA's 'medically necessary' catering. The diabetic meal (DBML) cold breakfast consists of
1) sugar sweetened yogurt with (~35 grams of sugars)
2) sweet breakfast cookie (another 30-40 grams of sugars)
3) fruit
I sincerely doubt that a registered dietitian approved this for "reduced sugar, hyperglycemic, hypoglycemic and carbohydrate controlled meal requests."
I just prefer not to eat a lot of sweet junk, but if I had a true medical issue, I would be playing Russian Roulette if I trusted AA to meet my needs.
So in response to the OP, pack your own snacks and try to eat around whatever they serve.
