- soaps on telly and people talking about the characters as if they were real.
T1 husband is in hospital. Infected foot, injured in the 4:00am Hypo has become infected. In fact it's very swollen and has blistered. T1 is on IV antibiotics. Bg is still in the teens. Down from the twenties, so some improvement. He's now waiting until a podiatrist can come and treat it. While I was there this afternoon, a yyoung doctor came to take samples of the fluid in the blisters, to look for bugs.
I slipped in the suggestion that if he regularly had to deal with diabetics, he might recommend a reduced( note my tact!) carb diet to make control easier. he thought that made sense. Later, as I was leaving, I heard him in a discussion with a couple of nurses and a medical student. the student, was saying that she knew very little about diabetes. Lets hope she learns something in the next 2 years.Maybe she'll also remember what I said.
