[QUOTE="leahkian, post: 1622354, member: 32193"] To reply to everyone i was type 1 for 36 years but am on a break due to a pancreas and kidney transplant in 2015. My main care is in Newcastle but the powers that be say i must go to my local hospital if i need care, this is north Durham. The normal thin is i go there they do not want me as as i have had a transplant, so they phone my transplant team and get moved. One time there was no beds for me so i had to stop in my local hospital for 2 days, now comes the fun part the nurses came in and asked about my insulin, to which i told them i was no longer a diabetic. They said i was and went for a doctor who was about to order a drip to be put up, i told him about my transplant and showed him my scar. He said there was no record of this in my notes, so i phoned my transplant team and asked them to explain, to which they did.Then they would come in and ask me what they should do, so i said phone newcastle. Even when i got my menu it was a diabetic menu and when there was a shift change some were saying i was a diabetic and others not. This did not stop them from doing my BS every hour, there is a blood test that you have before you take your morning meds, they took it 2 times but lost one of the bottles and put the blood in the wrong bottle. Then i was moved to Newcastle i was bad but even i had to laugh that in the space of 6 weeks i had a transplant and went back to being a diabetic but the best part was they told my team i was difficult because i was not happy about getting my BS done every hour!!! So it proved that even in hospital with a 10 inch scar and a transplant team telling them i was not a diabetic that some of the staff did not no. Now when i go in to my local hospital they cannot send me to Newcastle fast enough. [/QUOTE]
