[QUOTE="urbanracer, post: 2395410, member: 140811"] No not yet. The doc did his rounds this morning, and wants to keep me on intravenous injections for another 24 hrs. Edit:- Woke up hypo this morning at 3.8, something which never usually happens to me. Most of the ward staff are carers (as opposed to nurses) and seem to do diabetes-by-the-numbers. There's zero appreciation for all the things we have to take into account and the spoonful of magic dust that is required for management of T1. The catering is pretty decent overall and a vast improvement from when my (now late) mother was in and out of here several times during her final years. BUT they boast 'alternative menus' for texture modified food, cultural, GF, milk free, children etc, and nothing that is for diabetics or that indicates the carb values in meals. So flying blind and relying on experience when I have the plate in front of me. [/QUOTE]
