[QUOTE="JudiP, post: 2171835, member: 181889"] I too am appalled at the lack of knowledge re diabetics when in hospital. I have had two recent experiences of this lately. The first was when I was kept in overnight for observation on my heart. Despite knowing I was on insulin no one asked if or when I needed my meds so I took my insulin then told them. They also said they would check my levels but didn’t. On the second occasion I was waiting to have a heart monitor fitted and a nurse asked what sandwich I would like later. I chose a ham sandwich but without pickle. When it came it was ham and pickle plus a ‘goody bag’ containing crisps, sweetened fruit juice and cake! I always say when you are in hospital you need to be well enough to look after yourself! [/QUOTE]
