It was at a hospital ward. I was there for. Few hours visiting a relative. I saw this man at the next bed drinking a can of soft drink and food bought from outside. A few hours later i am not sure how the nurses detected he could have high bg and they went to measure his bg. I heard they saying while looking at the meter...45. After that they they took half an hour to prepare the insulin for injection.
This hospital is strange in the following ways. First, they do not measure bg before meals given all the six patients in the room looks around 70 yo. Second, the meals they serve are high in carb, i estimate 60-70g per serving. When they saw my dad only took half of the rice, they asked me why and said should finish all. When i told them he has diabete and cannot consume so much, they gave me a blank look.
