AlmereStars Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 hi all, well i'm diabetic, and i was wondering which park has the best food/drinks for people who are diabetic. and which one is the worst?? i'm diabetic for 2 years now, and when I just got it I visited a small park in switzerland, and they didn't even had sugarfree drinks and that really annoyed me, so that's my worst park, I can't remember the name of the park though ow and diabetic people CAN eat sugar before dying ! (a qeustion I hear once every week or so) just so you all know -Greetz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyingScooter Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 DollyWood would get my vote. They've got every kind of food you can think of. It's one of the few plces i've been to that doesn't push sweets everywhere you walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarryH Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 I just tend to stay away from pixie sticks and candy shops. If I ate a pixie stick, I'd be in a diabetic coma and I would need 5,000 injections of insulin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheArchfiend Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 i'm diabetic for 2 years now, and when I just got it I visited a small park in switzerland, and they didn't even had sugarfree drinks and that really annoyed me -Greetz Really they didn't even have water? As a vegan who doesn't drink any sugar, soda or alcoholic beverages (by choice) I always just; drink water, bring my own food, or just don't eat till I leave the park. And besides, I go to parks to ride rides and not to sit on my butt eating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 The Disney parks are pretty much the best. Nearly every 'sweet cart' in Florida has Sugar Free Ice Cream, all the restaurants cater to your every weird food needs, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raptorcrew2002 Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 I agree with the Disney Parks. Epcot has many safe bets and good food options in world showcase. Most parks are just your normal run of the mill offerings and selections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillMontu Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 I think it's quite an accomplishment when you get Dan to post in your thread. I nominate Coney Beach Personally, I don't eat very often at most parks, as it's too expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteornotes Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 It totally depends on your diet and needs. The Disney parks are probably the best, especially if you go to one of the sit down places, as they will almost always work around your dietary restrictions. I've never had a problem at any park, except Six Flags America, where we could not find an open food stand that had water and/or diet soda. But that was only on one visit many years ago. I know what I can eat and not eat and can work around pretty much any situation. Obviously a park that has a lot of food choices beyond fast food are the best. dt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Insulin World, SPLENDA Center, and Pancreas Kingdom are the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scruffy Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Hershey Park= Diabetic Coma remember that At the place I work at Hershey sells a lot of diabetic candy. Right now their is a big market for that. Disney is a good place to find food and drinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
America Sings Freak Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 yeah i would have to agree with everybody else Disney usually is the best and Knott's Berry Farm is the worst out of the parks I've been to unless you want to count county fairs!

dj snow Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 I'm not diabetic so I don't really have an eye for the particular needs that one might have, but I do have to put in a word for Hersheypark here. They have one of the largest varieties of food I've seen in a park, so I would imagine you could find something there that suits your needs. Just off the top of my head, I know you can get quiche, smoked brisket, sushi, Chinese, Subway, Nathan's, and Kosher food, as well as all the traditional park fare. I remember once having a lunch of crab-and-asparagus quiche with kataifi for dessert. And this was from a grab-and-go stand, not a sit-down place! Anyway, I think one of the consistent points in this thread is that parks with a wider variety of food are more likely to accommodate your needs. I'd put Hersheypark in that category.

ebl Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 "I think it's quite an accomplishment when you get Dan to post in your thread." (WillMontu) And you get me, too, as an extra added bonus. But more and more parks are offering sugar free/low carb stuff. Do ask in restaurants and shops. Most workers are more than happy to help you. Epcot does have their sugar free cheesecake (Dan got me a piece when we were there in October---good stuff!), and sometimes you can find sugar free or no sugar added ice cream. All the walking you'll do at a park will help as well. I don't know whether you're taking insulin or doing pills, but do be sure to take those as prescribed. (You, of course, already know that...) Bottom line: you'll be fine. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrygator Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 Knott's Berry Farm is the worst out of the parks I've been to unless you want to count county fairs! I'm fairly certain that diabetics can eat Mrs. Knotts Fried Chicken. and for the record I love the beef jerky stand at Knotts and have gotten some very good garlic cheese bread there.
