[QUOTE="k9kitty, post: 149178, member: 26369"] Hi Ebony, I do hope you have recovered from the bad treatment and the hypo you suffered. I felt absolutely appalled by your experience at the hospital. Alas, this seems to happen all too frequently. My own bad experiences relate to my visual impairment which can be difficult enough. The hypo must have left you feeling rotten. Does your hospital have a PALS? They are sometimes a good place to start with a complaint, don't forget to keep a copy of any email or letter your send, so you can refer back. Also mention what happened to your GP s/he may offer support for your complaint. You friend is a witness to what has happened and could back you up if needed. Check if your area health authority has written guidelines for dealing with diabetic emergencies and whether the hospital has violated them and quote from their own written sources if they have done so. Agree with Tigger, do buy a couple of spare meters, usually the strips last unopened for quite a while. I have a trueone that is dated 2014 as a backup. You never know when you might loose one or a meter may break for some reason. And the freestyle lite available at most chemists is usually cheap. [/QUOTE]
