I'd be in big trouble...my BP is typically 110/60. On a high day it might be 110/70.

A friend's DH is type 1 diabetic and had extended hospitalization after he was blown off a roof during a windstorm and suffered dozens of broken bones and a collapsed lung. In the hospital MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS totally mismanaged his diabetes--treating him as if he were a type 2 diabetic and obese...2 things he is far from.

They had to have a friend (a fellow type 1) come in and give the hospital staff what for. If his injuries didn't nearly kill him, their lack of competence nearly did. They were trying to treat his condition with diet, rather than the necessary blood checks and insulin.

Sometimes it seems like "policy" trumps common sense. The results could be lethal.
