I used to be a nurse. Nurses have a tendency to specialize these days. Unfortunately diabetes is just another disease. I agree that they should know because of the prevalence of it now. There are diabetic nurses these days which is good. If you have a chance when you leave hospital you could mention your concern on the evaluation of your stay. If they don't give you one ask for one. Hope this helps.

@A DiabetesTeam Member Have you heard of CGM? Dexcom has something similar.

A Diabete...

I meet a man who lives in Isreal, And we began talking, and he told me he was diabectic.
He then showed me a SCANNER, that he passes over a patch and needle inserted in his waist, that it registered his Blood Sugar At all times.
I asked where I could get such a device, and he told me They were new in isreal, but did not think they were in the states yet.

If anyone out knows of such a device , please inform me. thanks VIC KABAK

I know what you mean. I sympathize with you for sure. We need to be our own advocates now.

I was fortunate enough to be able to have a 7 week workshop\education class on it all! My share of cost came as a shock to me. But it did really help. I lost the materials and I am so frustrated, because it broke it down so well! There are lots of books, web sites etc. Just keep researching! You are your own best advocate!!! Good Luck!
