People with diabetes may be hospitalised for the condition or another reason. Either way, they need special care to avoid diabetes-related complications. General ward nurses and trainee doctors were tested on their knowledge of diabetes, with poor results in some areas. The questionnaire used could prove a useful tool for identifying and addressing these problems.
