Diabetes Type 2 Support Group

Type 2 Diabetes is a condition in which the body either does not produce enough insulin or does not make efficient use of it. Insulin is a hormone needed to convert food into glucose, a sugar that the body uses for energy. Without enough insulin, glucose can accumulate in the blood, and can cause serious health problems such as heart disease and strokes and organ damage...

I think that your doctors are not doing thier job. if your in hospital then the doctors need to be doing their jobs. maybe you should get onto them about that. let them know if they don't do something you will repot them to the AMA (american medical association) Also if you drink green tea, it can help at least try to stableise your blood sugars. thats what i have been doing. it's been a month since i was able to have my blood sugar meds ( getting them today) but i have had to rely on green tea and also cinnamon to keep some what fine.

You need to take control for yourself, take a deep breath and talk to them, one on one without all the accusations.

Hi Ray

Just say what you said to us. It is so scary to face up to managing your diabetes, but you have made a great start by posting here and going to the hospital, the next step is to ask for the help you know you need. Start with a nurse as they are often more friendly/less rude and know just as much as doctors do if not more, due to their direct experience with patients.

But you are right, in hospital things should be managed for you, they should adjust your insulin themselves, that is my experience anyway.

Best of luck.

rayray you didn't say what your BG number are. We have an Education group where I live, a hospital nurse runs it. She told us that in the hospital they will keep a patients numbers up around 140, which I consider too high, but she said they don't want to risk a hypo while the patient is sleeping.
I still don't agree with her and would insist on being given the proper treatment to keep my numbers between the 90 and 110 that I try to when I am at home.
