Just been for my h1ac screening at a brand new local clinic and after an hour past my appointment time and still waiting I went low and (stupidly) didn't have anything on me. I asked at reception but the cafe had closed and they didn't have a vending machine. D'oh! I was obviously low as I tend to get a little wobbly o...n my feet and when I asked for a drink the receptionist brought me water! It's like she had no idea she was working in a diabetes clinic. After I explained she did bring me a cup of sweet tea though. Woo, free tea! (I think I actually said that *shame*)
They had lost my blood though so I have to go and give more tomorrow. Which is great because I just luuuurrrve fasting and giving blood ;-)

Hi
Could you recommend any research that is available regarding Hypo mamgament in hospitals. I see you have recently been taking part in research to find out how patients feel about their treatment in hospitals with regards to hypo management- has any of this been printed/published yet? is there anything else out ther...e.
I work on a diabetes ward and am planning to write anassignment about this. I know things are not managed as they should be in many areas but need the research to compare how it should be delt with to how it is (poorly) delt with.
All help appreciated

Hi Everyone,
Sugars have been on the high side for the last few days. Just tested it now and it was 21.1mmol. So done a correction dose but it says only to do 1.25units as i still have over 5 units on board. But the insulin on board NEVER brings it down to my target of 7.5mmol!! Just had to do a correction dose with my... insulin pen and part of me is wishing i was still on injections. It was sooooo much easier! ANy advice would be appreciated!
