[QUOTE="Tanny35, post: 1206049, member: 294896"] It is worrying when in hospital at the lack of knowledge these medical professionals have of diabetes. Esp when they try and force you to take insulin when u have already taken the required dose. It's like we put our life on to the hand of a bunch of muppets. The best I had recently (wasn't in a hospital stay) but I was shocked. In a joint renal/diabetic clinic you would assume they know about diabetes. How wrong was I. The doctor wrote down on a urine test that I was type 2 and I am type 1. So I told the nurse, and said I'm actually type 1 will that make a difference to the test if they think I'm 2. She replied I don't know what it means. They went on to tell me that it meant they were testing me for type 2. So when I said why would they do that when type 1 supersedes type 2 she told me I might have type 2 as well. Then another nurse came in and she asked him what it meant. He said it was something to do with the kidneys. That day I lost faith altogether! Hope you are feeling better now, and they have sorted u out Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum mobile app [/QUOTE]
