Over a million people with diabetes were admitted to hospital in England in 2017. 92%  of them were not admitted because of their diabetes. A hospital stay for a person with diabetes can be a frightening experience and it is easy to understand why. In 2017, an estimated 9,600 people required rescue treatment following a severe hypoglycaemic attack. 2,200 people suffered from Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) due to under treatment with insulin . We can and must do better for people with diabetes in hospital.
