Hi @DannyH Please don't give up, it doesn't matter where you come from we are all entitled to the same care.
I don't know how you contact your team but you need to get them on your case, it does take one good nurse to sit up and make things happen, so see if you can get someone to call you today, write all this down and explain to them you are desperate for help, be firm with them though so your focus should be getting your insulin reviewed and support with managing those high levels to get back into range again. I suggested low carb before because it's unwise to pack more carbs in on top of high glucose levels, you will be hungry because your body isn't processing the glucose in your blood and your cells need the energy. Low carb = low insulin doses so less room for error, if you're managing your glucose levels efficiently then it's up to you how many carbs you want to eat.
You can turn this around so please have hope, but do take action today and see if you can get someone to speak to you about this.
