[QUOTE="coco4, post: 346761, member: 47171"] No DON'T shut up GraceK you are absolutely right and I agree with you entirely. I dread Fridays and weekends arriving as I know if I need to go to hospital I know what to expect. I was admitted to hospital with ketoacidosis, "luckily" on a Monday evening when staff were in good supply and knew what they were doing, but as the week wore on and Friday arrived the reduction in staff and expertise was so apparent and what staff there were were too busy dealing with the drunks etc. By Sunday morning two wards with a total of 30 patients had a total staff comprising an auxilliary nurse and a trainee nurse. I was new to diabetes so was at a loss to know what to do about hypos, hypers and testing my sugars etc. I was left in a corner, my insulin drip and fluid drip had been removed, but I was still suffering the effects of the ketoacidosis and my mental state was not in good shape. The budget has to be spent somewhere, however us diabetics appear not to be the deserving members of the population. [/QUOTE]
