As
a
recent
inpatient
to
Alder
ward
on
7/06/22
with
a
Diabetic
foot
infection
I
would
like
to
express
some
serious
concerns.
The
staff
were
generally
very
caring
but
as
someone
who
takes
insulin
to
control
my
blood
sugar
levels
I
have
serious
misgivings.
At
home
I
normally
take
my
insulin
at
around
6
pm
before
I
eat
my
evening
meal
however
at
Lewisham
Hospital
I
was
fed
a
tiny
and
I
mean
tiny
meal
at
5
pm
then
told
to
take
60
units
of
insulin
at
11
pm
this
of
course
resulted
in
me
becoming
hypoglycemic
during
the
night
and
feeling
very
unwell.
I
asked
one
of
the
nurses
if
it
was
possible
to
change
the
time
and
dose
of
insulin
to
accommodate
the
different
mealtimes
and
volumes
in
hospital.
I
was
told
bluntly
that
this
was
hospital
rules
to
have
the
insulin
at
11
pm
and
they
would
treat
me
when
I
experienced
a
hypo.
I
explained
I
didn't
want
to
or
should
have
to
experience
a
hypo
and
was
told
it
was
hospital
protocol
to
be
given
medication
at
11
pm.
I'm
disgusted
at
my
treatment
and
I
will
be
taking
this
matter
much
further
that
as
a
diabetic
person
I
was
basically
told
that
I
take
insulin
when
the
hospital
tells
me.
The
next
few
days
I
had
to
refuse
to
take
my
medication
so
I
didn't
have
hypos.
This
hospital
has
no
clue
about
patient
care
and
I
would
urge
anyone
to
go
somewhere
else.
I
was
transferred
to
st
Thomas
hospital
for
an
operation
and
they
accommodated
my
insulin
at
my
normal
time
and
I
had
the
best
experience
and
care
I've
ever
received
at
St
Thomas
hospital.
