R1 stated that they know that staff are not allowed to do the injections for them.

Interview with staff S1 indicated that the glucose reader is placed by R1’s daughter every two weeks. Interview with R1 revealed that R1 indicated that staff do not do any of the diabetes related task for R1 and R1 does their own injections. R1 indicated that staff hand R1 the insulin and stay in the room till R1 has completed the injection.
