@_xmahx3 It's what coffee was invented for*

*one of the many things

@julesbhrh Thank you, yep got him out yesterday and he’s on the mend. The crazy thing is some elements of his care in hospital were excellent but then that bit was terrible.

[Guardian of the Glucose @Colonelblighty]

Sadly Lewis was taken into hospital the other day with ketones of 7. He’s ok now but the hospital are trying to give him lantus despite him having his pump.

[Guardian of the Glucose @Colonelblighty]

@Abhishe93247252 Oh dear I’m sorry to hear that 😔 yes he had a bit of a chest infection on Monday that then caused a doom loop with the diabetes.

[Guardian of the Glucose @Colonelblighty]

@ShaunTheRam Thanks Shaun, not as bad as when Zoe found him unconscious last year but still a worry. If I weren't already folically challenged I would be tearing my hair out

[Guardian of the Glucose @Colonelblighty]

@irenep671 When I got there a Diabetes Dr appeared and he was really good to be fair understood the pump etc.

It's a fragmented system here with community patients under one trust and the closest hospitals under two different trusts. You'd think though that being in hospital was safest 🙄

[Guardian of the Glucose @Colonelblighty]

@Kidfears99 He must've slept in it 🤣

[Guardian of the Glucose @Colonelblighty]

@mi_shmash I understand nurses and drs can’t know everything so they shouldn’t pretend that they do. Seem diabetologist now and he was thankfully clued up

[Guardian of the Glucose @Colonelblighty]

@Kidfears99 Hopefully out of here soon

[Guardian of the Glucose @Colonelblighty]

@irenep671 AWOL it would seem. Zoe asked nurse on phone which diabetes dr was on call and the nurse wouldn’t answer

[Guardian of the Glucose @Colonelblighty]

@mi_shmash Indeed we have.

[Guardian of the Glucose @Colonelblighty]

@changeresearch Yes, spoken to his Dsn to call the hospital. Also Zoe is clinical lead for community diabetes in this area so no doubt she will be raising it more internally.

Really scary how little the staff know about diabetes.

[Guardian of the Glucose @Colonelblighty]

@allen_gunners Exactly, I get when coming off a sliding scale if on mdi then some long lasting is needed but not on a pump.

[Guardian of the Glucose @Colonelblighty]

@sotonDSN 🤞after pre-registering once again for tickets.

[Guardian of the Glucose @Colonelblighty]

@sotonDSN @VickiaDSN At least the weather is better there 😂

[Guardian of the Glucose @Colonelblighty]

@VickiaDSN @sotonDSN Nooooo! As soon as the youngest starts his A-levels next week at sixth form we're on countdown until the parents evening to invite him on the New York trip 💰💰💰

[Guardian of the Glucose @Colonelblighty]

Do you remember when you joined X? I do! #MyXAnniversary
It was a friendly inviting place back then though.

[Guardian of the Glucose @Colonelblighty]

@CountBinface Blackbinned surely?

[Guardian of the Glucose @Colonelblighty]

@jamgail72 My new bag of beans is getting opened this evening, fruit & nut espresso blend.

[Guardian of the Glucose @Colonelblighty]

@Kidfears99 Is that at retail or actual cost to make prices?
