The Ceutí de Diabetes Association denounces "negligent facts" in the last camp

The Ceutí de Diabetes Association has denounced "negligent events, being played with the health of young participants" in the sixth edition of the Camp for Children with Diabetes.

In the complaint made by this association before the Ministry of Health, Consumption and Minors, the first indicates in the first place that they were only offered the possibility of being present during the realization of the same “without any function or as we offered them carrying out some activity duringthe days of the camp ”.

In addition, he criticizes that "the advice by the association is disregarded, who thought that the hiring of diabetes specialized personnel was fundamental."

From the association, they say, it was offered to follow examples of other camps that are successfully carried out in other cities and that was necessary “more information and greater preparation of it”.

"During the camp they send us complaints and bad praxis thanks to the information of the minors who are there," says this association, which adds that "the treatment that the attendees had, which, even being knowledgeable about these, were obvious, that they are aware of these,they modified by the medical staff. ”

In this complaint document, the association indicates that “Dr. Márquez ordered not to inject insulin at levels below 140 glucose, an issue that was against what is prescribed by the options of the respective users”, and adds that “it is notHe carried out any forming activity or educator in diabetes and on the contrary bad practices were advised such as not injecting insulin of slow action, or exercising to lower the levels. ”

“There was no control of food rations at any time, as well as not suitable foods such as sugary juices and few healthy foods have been provided.The appropriate controls were not provided during the hours they had established, nor the appropriate or scheduled insulin injections for each person, ”they denounce in the statement.

The Ceutí de Diabetes Association says that “it follows from the action of health personnel that it was not a priority to maintain adequate glucose levels and that users brought at their entrance, having as priority not having hypoglycemia and fighting hyperglycemia with rapid injectionsof insulin or by exercise ”.In addition, he denounces that "during the days of the camp and subsequent glucose levels have been extraordinarily high in most users to levels from 200 to 501, compared to those recommended between 80-120".

This association also ensures that there have been minors "who have had to inject their treatment, slow action insulinCare with hypoglycemia especially during night hours, being necessary to measure between 3 and 4 in the morning to avoid reaching a possible diabetic coma, which are made in our homes and have not been carried out in the three days ofcamp".

In this line he denounces that "the legal guardian during the three days, as is the case during school hours, was in the Ministry of Health and its staff, as organizer of the aforementioned event."

"Given what happened in the camp in the face of its objective there is an absolute failure in training and diabetological education," says this association, which regrets that the attendees "have learned negative behaviors to proceed with their chronic and unfortunate disease what from theHealth and family areas had managed to educate. ”

Therefore, he requests that responsibilities be refined from the Ministry, as well as on the personnel who have participated in the development and organization of the camp, and thatCommunicate the resolutions adopted.

The party leading Fatima Hamed denounces in a press release that “the decision made unilaterally by the doctor in charge of the council camp has generated serious effects on the girls who have attended and great confusion in what are the performancesThey must now follow. ”

The MDYC will demand the relevant explanations to the Councilor of the Area and to assume the responsibilities by “those who have put in serious danger the lives of these children”.

C´s Ceuta adds to the writing of the association and requests explanations to the Ministry of Health, Consumption and Minors of the city, to clarify what happened and detail how the organization of the aforementioned activity was, as well as why it did not reportThe parents of the facultative decisions.

They consider that “the severity of this matter requires that political responsibilities be refined.The city government has not hesitated to go to take the photo with these children neglecting the most important thing: their health. ”C´s also asks the city to rest on the association.

You can't believe this happens.

Here the doctor's response on the matter has published this letter:

Children's Camp with Diabetes

Thursday, October 6, 2016

My name is Juan Antonio Márquez, a graduate in Medicine, I am obviously not endocrine but if I live and I have patients who unfortunately fight and survive before a disease such as diabetes mellitus.I address this letter to clarify certain issues related to the diabetes camp held from September 29 to October 2 at the Miguel Luque complex:

1.- When the contest was tendered, they asked for a doctor and Due, I highlight a doctor and Due because apparently after reading the news it seems that the Ministry of Health hired two other gentlemen who had nothing to do with this blessed health and humanitarian profession, II mean that everything we did at the camp was not worth anything and consequently as a summary of the news we were premeditated to attempt against the life of children according to MDYC press sheet. And nothing is further from reality.In the first place we are humanitarian and our work is to prevent, safeguard the health of our patients and treat them, it seems to me a barbarity that is said that children's lives have been put at risk, don't you think?

2.- The health team was presented at Miguel Luque's complex with air tracks, trauma, circulatory, medication and oxygen therapy after seeing the different scheduled activities.

3.- I am not the doctor who treats these children or guides insulin, in consequences it will be their parents, endocrine and pediatrician who will carry their control and medication.Therefore it is common sense that any doctor with two fingers in front of their guidelines and so was done.All the demanded glycemia were taken, the insulins were in a fridge located in the bedroom of the toilets to which the children accessed without any impediment to administer their dose of insulin scheduled.Therefore no one had to hide or inject their insulin in secret.By the way, glycemia controls were also performed at 3 hours after dinner to avoid hypoglycemia, and specifically according to the pattern of two parents, the glucose had to be taken at three in the morning and another at four o'clockThe morning.

4.- They complain that when a child climb the glycemia was administered insulin and was sent to exercise.If I had done this barbarity!Before hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia, do you really believe that I am going to put a child to run?Do you know what it means forcing a child to run with fatigue, dizziness, drowsiness, vomiting, etc. of symptoms?They speak of sugary juices, if it is true, there were sugary juices but not to include it in the diet but for slight hypoglycemia that would be presented and offered.

5.-It speaks that there was no training and if my memory does not fail me, I gave them a talk of approximately 30-40 minutes to the children explaining that it is diabetes, their symptoms, their values ​​etc.I do not know why he comments that no talk was given and children were even given to the children with food information and adequate exercises for diabetes.

6.- For me it has been a big surprise and unexpected to see me wrapped in this whole story.I recognize that I am very sad and anxious to the publication of the news in reference to the comments of the Diabetes Society and a father who has been proclaimed as a spokesman without previously contrast or meet.It is very easy to write or easier to talk to a video, as the saying says the only muscle that has no bone and therefore does not hurt is the tongue.It is very sad to see your name, your honorability and your trampled dignity.The damage is done, although I hope that from the opinions expressed towards my partner and towards me it is modified or retracted, I do not likeWrite about these issues, I've been working as a doctor for 14 years in my blessed city and none of this had happened to me

7.- I was at the entire provision of the Ministry of Health to speak and contrast with the parents about the action carried out in the camp.We met today October 5 at 1:00 p.m. and what was my surprise when I address the parents saying "dear parents", that the parents' spokesman heads towards me calling me "individual, if you do not withdraw the dear parents of meI get up and the other parents. ”To which I answer that I am not going to withdraw the dear parents, which rises the spokesman and the parents and the meeting ends.Is that the attitude, behavior and education that a spokesman must have, that is the way he has to represent?For me he leaves much to be desired as a dialogue and spokesperson.Those are not the ways or representing themselves.By the way there is an record and an recorded audio, I refer to the tests.

In conclusion, after trampling my person and my honorability as a doctor, during the days that the camp was held, a Due of the Health Area and a technique of the same area were present that at no time received any complaint from the children towardsthe health team and everything I have said I put them as a witness of everything that happened in it.Please ask.Sunday morning arrived, twelve, everyone without exception wanted to return or be in the next camp.

I want to make it very clear that at no time was he attempted against the life of any child or put his lives in danger.None of them had to manage venous medication for being in danger of his life, only his corresponding insulin were administered.I don't know if I leave anything pending.Anyway, this is my way of defending myself before serious accusations to my partner and mine.
