I have posted on a couple of headings over the last 2 weeks about mil with unstable diabetes.
Yesterday she was discharged from the hospital at 11am, when arriving home in the ambulance a bag with the medication and insulin was given to us with a
message that the district nurse will attend today to give her the insulin injection. That was it.
Mil is quite well in other ways can dress, make her meals drinks etc and go the loo so we are quite happy. She walks around the house with a walking frame,
handles around the house, bed frame and toilet frame. Housebound for a number of years.
Fast forward to this morning and the DN attends and is horrified not only us having no instructions but Mils blood sugar levels, they again are less than 3 (2.1),
lifts mil top up and her whole tummy is bruised which DN says is caused by the person rushing when giving the injection.
She called the community diabetic lead nurse who has called and she was very helpful, from now on until she can get everything stable will be calling and giving
the injection herself. Has given us lots of advice. She is also arranging for a DN to come early evening to just check blood sugar levels.
Thank you for your replies on my other threads lots of advice was given.
