Glucose for a diabetic?

If you are a diabetic and need an iv to get your meds, don't you think the staff should pay attention to what the medium is? And how long should your blood sugar readings be out of whack before someone realizes that there is glucose in your iv bag?
And if you were in the right hospital, and not the insurance company's choice of hospital, maybe this would have been a non-issue.
It is past time for this to all change. Let there be a single payer system,, so that nurses can nurses, doctors can doctor, and people can get the proper care.
