Please consider advocating for legislation that makes the display of carbohydrate content compulsory for restaurant meals, in the same way that calorie labelling is currently mandated. This practical change would make eating out safer and more inclusive for thousands of people across the country.

Background
People with Type 1 diabetes must calculate and administer insulin doses based on the amount of carbohydrates in their meals. Without access to accurate carbohydrate information when eating out, they are forced to guess, which can lead to serious health consequences such as hypoglycaemia or hyperglycaemia.
