[I find that people in hospitals keep you high just because they are scared that I may get a low. They don't like panic as in a hospital they should understand that to panic is not caring. To understand the patient need rather than just compensating the for the low.)

Yes Anthill I can see this happening in some hospitals. Sadly many nurses and doctors are ignorant about diabetes. They either do to much or to little. Some of them like to think they know it all (and know little)
I've seen nurses who want to be diabetic educaters refuse to inject themselve with saline!!(NOW THAT REALLY CHEESED ME OFF)
On the other hand I have seen a nurse try to shove barley sugar into an unconsious patients mouth as her blood sugar was low. (The BSL came up but she choked on the lolly NO luckily she was Ok )
One of the things I hate about non diabetics is the judgment Oh you are a bad diabetic as in Naughty because you are eating something that they think you shoudn't.
Also with the medical side of things when you lapse They just rant and rave. (that doesn't help)

(I am lucky as I have found a GP and diabetic educater who don't give up on me even though I must frustrate them at times) Take care from Alicat61
