After begging them to see the nurse in the police station I was finally seen she said my sugars were 29mmol which she thought was fine I told her I usually am between 4 - 8 and I’m going in to dka my mouth dried she said this was because i had alcohol and refused me insulin whilst angrily saying I’m not Dka and I was lying I stood in the custody cell shaking pressing to button repeatedly ask for medication to which I was told to get rest and that I’m annoying the officers this happened for an hour then I passed out from no insulin exhaustion the I work up being nudged by officers to which they said stop pretending and eventually rolled over and passed out I woke up to a new nurse was lovely and although sceptical agreed to check for ketones it was purple an I was rushed to hospital the broke my wrist I have severe swelling and I am writing this in hospital with my ketones 2.0 even after medication I was petrified crying all night abuse ignored and neglected my right to a solicitor and call 111 which I asked and pleaded for I am disgusted at the treatment I have suffered being left to die slowly in a cell on my own for something I wasn’t charged for this which if the same nurse was on duty I believe I would of gone into a shock or a sever reaction this needs reform my right to medication is not a joke and should not be impeached because they don’t believe me any advice would be grateful.
