[QUOTE="leahkian, post: 1621295, member: 32193"] I would like to say this is new but its not, people think diabetes is nothing more than they cannot eat sugar and have insulin. The only way they learn is if someone close to them has it but it appears not in your case, if i was you i would sit them down and explain how you feel when your BS is low. Then see what they have to say, we as diabetics live with it but even some consultants do not know what it feels like to have a low sugar level. I am happy that there is more information out there but its getting people to read it, i am shocked when sometimes in the past when i have been in hospital the limited knowledge that some of the nursing staff has. You would think in this day and age there would be a course where nurses had to go on just to learn the basics. There are loads of courses that they would like us to go to, is it for us to learn or to be able to tell the nurses what to do when we are in hospital. [/QUOTE]
