Good for you Terry standing up for yourself. My only experience with a hospital stay of 3 days following surgery, “ permissive hyperglycemia wasteland” is the most accurate description of my experience. They are so hypoglycemiaphobic.
As I have bad memories of 3 dietitians who were clueless about any type of diabetes, I am pleased that these 2 are aware and came to you to further their knowledge. Would that all doctors and nurses would realize that some diabetic patients are more knowledgeable from years of living well with the disease.
