[QUOTE="Stunning, post: 89824, member: 21360"] I had a horrible experience when i had a hospital admission in February 2009. The hospital consultant, who i had never met before, seemed more focused on posturing in front of his "team" who struggled to write down all that he was saying, while he looked out of the window and "number-crunched" regarding what Insulin doses I was taking. When discharged, the "new" regime that this consultant had put me on led to THREE night hypos, each of which required an Ambulance call. After that, I reverted back to my original regime and, the hypos ceased!!!!! It made me wonder if this consultant had ever actually witnessed a Diabetic in the "full-throws" of a severe hypo and, as such, does indeed make the Diabetics themselves far more of an expert than consultants of his ilk will ever be! Also, i will NEVER be seeing the Diabetic team at the hospital EVER again and will continue to see my GP at my local doctors surgery. DS [/QUOTE]
