[QUOTE="chocoholic, post: 628304, member: 2964"] I have done the BERTIE course,which I believe is similar to DAFNE and funnily enough,dug all that info out last night when I suddenly remembered it but the sick day rules bit was very vague and I found a small leaflet that basically said you should speak to your 'diabetes care team' to put in place a sick day rules plan. I did miss one session of BERTIE because my brother was in a life or death situation and I had to jump in the ambulance with him and I seem to recall my mind focusing on him after that and don't remember much about any sick day rules in the BERTIE course. I think I shall ask for an appointment with the diabetologist, so that I can discuss a sick day plan for myself,so that I am never in this situation again. I am a normally well controlled diabetic and am confident about looking after myself but this experience in hospital left me feeling I had lost total control and it was very frightening. A lesson learned! My advice to anyone who is diabetic but never had to deal with being very ill.....don't wait until you are in hospital.........make sure you know how to adjust your insulin in such a situation, NOW!
