First of all I'd like to say hello to everyone.
I have an investigation going on at the moment due to my Mother who was 93 years old when she passed away in a nursing home and I'd like to have some comments from anyone.
My mother went into Cardiac Arrest on the 21st August 2011 due to HYPOGLYCEMIA.
Her BM at 12.40p.m was at 0.9mmols and I believe that an ambulance should have been called immediately, instead of waiting until 14.31p.m.
The nursing home had managed to raise it during this time to 1.3mmols.
I have just received a response from the nursing home which I am not very happy with and will now go to the LGO with my complaint.
My mother did have several other complaints, but my concern is with the ignorance and lack of training in Care/Nursing homes as to what action should be taken when a diabetic patient is suffering from HYPOGLYCEMIA.
I should state that I am also in touch with Care Quality Commission.
Please let me know that I am not talking rubbish.
Thankyou
