[QUOTE="Mitchigan, post: 2307727, member: 420798"] Read your comments again. Maybe the staff nurse is getting muddled with the loss of sensation some diabetics experience. If she thought it was given correctly sounds like it was wrong.Refer her back to when the student first mis-administered your medication. Should be signed on your drug chart. Refer the staff nurse back to the high post meal level. May be ask to speak to her privately and make sure she understands the issues. She is going to be supervising more students. Is she teaching them correctly? Why didn’t she realise you were right when the levels were raised? You don’t want your medication increased or altered without good reason. Your hospital doctor won’t realise why your levels were higher unless it’s explained to them. There’s nothing wrong with a bit of mutual learning. [/QUOTE]
