[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2137674, member: 372717"] Well, it said that "around 18 per cent of hospital beds were occupied by someone with diabetes - but it is incredibly important to stress that only 8 per cent were admitted because of their condition." So, is that 8% of the diabetics, or 8% of the beds (nearly half of the diabetics). Really poor wording. And how do you count conditions that could be diabetic complications, but are also got by non diabetics? Not surprised that T1s are so expensive, just the cost of insulin is very expensive. But my experience of T1s in hospital is that I would [B]never [/B]trust a ward to look after me if I was incapable of managing my insulin. Intensive care, yes, ward nurses no. [/QUOTE]
