[QUOTE="iHs, post: 251496, member: 8799"] The problem for many nurses working in general wards is that they don't know a great deal if any at all about the bolus/basal insulin regime and how it needs to be calculated against the amount of carb eaten and how to calculate a correction dose. Many just think of twice daily regimes............. This is why its so important to take a bg meter and teststrips into hospital and also insulin pens and just stash everything in your locker including some hypo rescue stuff and something like a pack of biscuits just in case bg levels drop and there's no food about.
