so last Sunday morning I passed out due to low blood sugar and had a seizure from it staid in overnight they took me off all insulin so of course now my blood sugars are constantly high now but I'm not seeing anyone until the 7th of March. I'm not happy with them being this high constantly until they put me on new insulin
 
Hello @Jlewis12351996

Sorry to hear about your hypo, can I ask how they have justified taking your insulin off you ? I am of course assuming you are an insulin dependent diabetic or type 1 ? if so they are playing Russian roulette with your life and this needs addressing urgently by complaining to the ward manager if you are still in hospital.
 
Do you still have any insulin at home?

Well I passed out because they were to low and only on 2 units so I'll be going back on it next week. Probably on short acting as currently am only on long acting
 
From previous posts you have had low sugars before. What have your team suggested on previous occasions and do you have a clear diagnosis?
 
Absolutely tired of this now. Went in today for scheduled appointment hoping to get my insulin sorted after having a blood test last week. Turns out nurse is off sick yet again she was also off the previous week. But she still phoned me up later and told me to come in next week and even though the majority of my levels were high she focused on one time they were 3 because I had been sick with a bug that day so didn't eat and said now they want to put me in hospital for an observation which could be next month. Though my blood sugars are now constantly in the 15-20s but no one seems to care. I genuinely don't know what to do now I am feeling terrible I am constantly tired now and going to the toilet all the toilet but they're just ignoring what I'm saying
