I was in a local hospital as a cardiac patient for six day after Thanksgiving. During that time, they changed my insulin form regular to novolog, but continued to maintain my nph regimen.
During that time my blood sugars ranged between 450 and 49 with an average around 390. The cardiologist and endocrinologist said it was ok and they were trying to avoid a low blood sugar incidence.

Is this normal?
I have a MD friend who told me that when his wife died in the hospital of heart failure, they maintained her blood sugar level in the 800 to 1,000 range. He suggested I file a complaint with the hospital and Medicare regarding my treatment.
