Perhaps check your blood sugars and treat if low, if not then I'm afraid you will have to sit and wait your turn just like everyone else.Hey guys. I'm feeling really ill and sat in a and e waiting line. Feel like I might pass out. One hour wait for triage Nurse. Shouldn't we be seen sooner?
Well unless you have very high ketones and on the way to DKA then the attitude would be wait your turn as the only treatment on offer would be more insulin and in all honesty if you are under a hospital team then ring your DSN for advice.Yeah I told them I'm type one with high blood sugar but they didn't ask what it was
A&E are for accidents and emergencies, as by the sound of it you are neither the hint was wait your turn like everyone else.Seen the triage nurse.
@CarbsRok chill out. I'm not feeling well came here for advice not a lecture.
Err how would you know? I've not said why I'm here. Don't be so judgemental.A&E are for accidents and emergencies, as by the sound of it you are neither the hint was wait your turn like everyone else.
I was not being judgemental at all but as you can use your mobile/tablet and can sit and moan about the wait and converse with everyone on the net then obviously you are not at deaths doorErr how would you know? I've not said why I'm here. Don't be so judgemental.
I wasn't moaning I was asking for advice!!! Get a grip. People like you are the reason I've pretty much stopped using this forum. Hope u feel proud making someone who's come on feeling unwell worse.

Thank you helpful ones. Yes turns out t1s can be prioritised as I didn't have to wait that long in the end and saw a very nice doctor.
I'll return to not using this forum anymore though. What a shame. I don't see the need for jumping to conclusions and judging people.
