I've been admitted to hospital for a while to deal with an ear infection (!) that has turned chronic and can only be dealt with by IV anti biotics. I have told the nursing staff that I'm T2, controlled with Metformin and diet and suddenly, on Day 3, they pounced on me this morning (at 5:30am...) to 'do' my blood sugars. I'm confused. My diabetes nurse at my GPs advised me against doing blood sugars (can't precisely remember why but she definitely did) but here they have decided (and heaven knows who 'decided' they needed this ob in the middle of the night...) to do this. Can anyone offer any comment as to whether I allow them to carry on (given it's not part of my regular diabetes routine) and what perhaps they think they're doing?
Thanks...
