[QUOTE="moodwife, post: 991320, member: 148962"] I'm a T1 midwife on an insulin pump and as I was handing a woman's care over I heard another midwife having a meltdown about a T1 lady on a pump who "doesn't take a regular dose of insulin like they normally do. She said something about a matching insulin to food course she's done. How is anyone meant to work out how much insulin she needs written up on her prescription sheet? Can we just get a Dr to write doses and she can do her own thing?" This was where I suggested that maybe the midwife could ask the lady what her ratio was and get the Dr to prescribe accordingly. Then I had to explain ratios and was looked at like I was from another planet :-P and apparently we don't need a Diabetic Specialist midwife... [/QUOTE]
