💨 Abstract

The article discusses the challenges faced by type 1 diabetics when receiving hospital care. The author recounts a personal experience of being double-dosed with insulin before surgery, highlighting a lack of knowledge among medical staff. A survey by Metro found that 80% of type 1 diabetics feel hospital staff lack sufficient knowledge to manage their condition. Individuals like Bri Henderson and Sufia Taylor shared similar experiences of inadequate care, including improper insulin management and neglect of their diabetes needs.
