[QUOTE="ElenaP, post: 2646651, member: 67557"] I do not have experience of the situation. However, you mention a care home, and in my opinion you, as a client, need to set the criteria. As I understand it, a Nursing Home must have one qualified nurse on every shift, whereas a care home does not need to. How often does this nurse visit? The care home gets paid to look after your relative, and they need to give the same care that client/relative has at home. I would be inclined to say to the care home manager (hopefully when the diabetic nurse is present) that your relative needs to have the same pattern of insulin that he/she has at home. It will be do-able, if they want to do their best for your relative. After all, most of us Type 1 diabetics had to learn what to without any prior medical training. Some care homes are private, others are part of a chain, but all of them are expensive. Please try to speak with whoever is in charge. You could ask the Care Quality Commission what criteria do they use when inspecting care homes that have Type1 clients. [/QUOTE]
