- Acceptance of health treatment claims that are not adequately supported by evidence. I dislike it when people sell ineffective and even harmful alternative health products to exploit the desperation of people with chronic illness.
These elective surgery diabetes guidelines are worth a read:

Hi CarbsRok
I had printed sheets of medication, blood sugars 2 week's previous, PUMP hourly increments, medical history, They had had copies at all pre-assessments and I took them in with me several copies and a pump manual. Not interested couldn't believe it. Thanks I feel great

How about a one pager with just the most important info that's relevant to what they're doing. You could even laminate it and keep it next to the bed.

I could but I'm on various, meds , complicated medical history you know the score they just don't take any notice, unless they've asked and written it them selves which is so so annoying

Glad to hear your pump did the job and you are safely home and recovering @masonbason63
Were you worried about keeping your pump running with the use of x rays in the theatre? I was going to keep mine running for my last orthopaedic operation but when I spoke to Medtronic about it and knew there were going to be x rays to position the metal in my leg I decided I'd have to opt for a dark ages sliding scale instead - something I really dread having to do.
I've always taken my pump off for x rays and scans, perhaps I'm being over cautious!

The thought never even crossed my mind that they would x-Ray me for an arthroscopic procedure I don't even know if the did. I know when I have a knee replacement I'll be X-rayed I'll just pass it to one of the team for the few minutes it takes
