Weird things get on charts too that set in preconceived notions a person is Diabetic. My sibling has a stroke history and near life long mental issues that's been treated for. Anything going on in the body in the way of say a TIA can produce false of short term high blood sugar levels. That happened to her as a family member was driving her. She went into kinda a stupor {most likely TIA} and family member pulled into nearby ER. The Diabetic label stuck and I like to never got it corrected. That's the modern age of computers nothing ever gets truly deleted.

We put her in Memory Care assisted living and they got the hospital records. They kept wanting to put her on a Diabetic diet.

I used to work in nursing homes {maintenance} and my wife before going quad was a CNA she saw a lot including the place we worked at covering up an incident where her grandmother a patient there was injured and passed the next day. The House Supervisor RN was the one who hid it. The worker that was involved another CNA told my wife what had happened. A door had stuck shut and while she was trying to get out swung open into her grandmother in the hallway. Something my wife understood as just one of those things it could have been her.

So true about the diabetic label. We have had a heck of a time getting rid it. Mistakes happen, I understand that medicine is an “art & science” with a little more art than I realized before my experience, but the lying & covering up, well that’s just beyond the pale.
