Aimed at adults with diabetes, this section provides you with essential information on what to expect before (if your stay is planned), during and after your hospital stay. If you have diabetes and are admitted to hospital, it is important that you discuss and agree a plan for your diabetes care in partnership with the hospital team. This leaflet explains the level of care that you should receive, to make sure that your diabetes is well managed, whether you are admitted to hospital for a planned procedure or operation, or because of an emergency.
