Hospital dietitians are clueless. When my husband was diagnosed with diabetes after being hospitalized with a high blood sugar, the dietitian came to his room to discuss diet. She said a sample dinner would be chicken, mashed potatoes, corn, a dinner roll three high carb foods we knew more about nutrition apparently than she did my husband asked her about fruit she said that you could eat canned peaches. I can’t imagine a dietitian even suggesting eating something other than whole fruit.
