[QUOTE="urbanracer, post: 2395527, member: 140811"] They initially locked my stuff in the cupboard above my bed, but at the 1st mealtime I asked a different nurse if I could have my insulin and nobody tried to take it back. Silly. So yes I am mostly managing my own affairs but I'm on a reduced carb diet at home and here you are not in Matron's good books if you don't eat 3 carby meals a day. And without knowing the carb values, I am struggling a bit. I got a lasagne very wrong yesterday and ended up at 15mmol. Before the op' they designated me nil-by-mouth from 2am, 2 nights in a row. I asked what I'm supposed to do if I go hypo when I'm NBM and the nurse said she would ask the doctor but I never did get an answer. They managed me on a sliding scale for a few hours before the actual op which was all new to me. I have been placed on the Orthopedic ward and I was the only bloke who was mobile. The others all have problems with legs/feet and need assistance. For my last night I have been moved into an isolation room so that they could give my spot to somebody else who needs assistance. It's a bit lonely as there's nobody to talk to but on the other hand, I can do what I like food/insulin wise. [/QUOTE]
