An inmate with diabetes who needed to take insulin before his meals complained to our office that correctional staff could only give it to him after meals. The health care manager initially told us the facility was too large for its staff to co-ordinate the man’s insulin with his mealtimes, but still agreed to review the man’s circumstances. The inmate later informed us that staff had arranged to get his insulin to him before meals.
