[QUOTE="Heathenlass, post: 816840, member: 84861"] It is my understanding that when a HCP uses the term " poorly controlled", it means exactly that - that the person concerned does not have their blood glucose levels within a certain parameter. However, in a case such as this, or in a report, that statement needs further expansion, such as " this is possibly/ probably due to " . Sometimes this expansion could imply patient error, disregard or ( hated term!) " non compliance " , but in itself " poorly controlled" is Insufficient. Where there is an investigation/ complaint or legal issue, extra care really does need to be taken to dot the i's and cross the t's so it is absolutely clear whether or not the patient is poorly controlled due to brittle diabetes etc, or because they simply refuse to take their insulin or any other scenario in between these two examples. Otherwise, it's merely a statement , such as Mr.M. is experiencing such and such complications, probably due to his diabetes being poorly controlled " thus excluding other pathologies .
