To cut a very long story short my father who is type 2 on insulin is in hospital with late stage 'Copd' having had a chest infection, on steroids and because 10 days ago after being addmitted he had a couple of hypos he was unaware off his humalog 40 units at mealtimes was stopped and he was left on just humalin I twice a day, after realising his sugars were now far to high they have put him on 10units mealtimes, I live 350 miles away, arrived yesterday to take him out for couple of hrs but he wasnt allowed to leave the ward as sugars were 33!! I have been type 1 for 35 yrs and the problem is black and white but they wont listen, never felt so frustrated/angry in my life but what I want to know is if there is any protocol/ document form I can produce to allow my father to have his pens back and take control of his own insulin, I have photographed his notes that show it took 55mins before they gave him insulin after a reading of 'hi'. They allowed him to eat treacle pudding at lunch yesterday despite his sugars being 23 before and the type 2 nurse working there told me she wouldnt have been able to say no either, I could scream and yes I have cried!!!
