Diabetic Scots gran left fighting for life in coma after hospital failed to tell her of Type 2 diagnosis

“The next thing, I was in the Glasgow Royal Infirmary. There were no visitors allowed in the cardiology ward that I was in.
“They kept coming in and pricking my finger so I asked one of the nurses what they were doing that for. She asked if I was diabetic but I said no. And that was all. She
