A similar concern from this report was raised again 1 time later. See the linked reports.
The coroner's concerns
1. delayed diagnosis of diabetes
“A simple blood glucose test done on a regular basis may have identified the diabetes sooner and the condition managed.”
2. missed identification of diabetes risk
“Although the patient wasn't identified as a diabetic she presented with some of the key associated risk factors including BMI greater than 30 and immobility due to her medical condition.”
3. absence of specific guidance for diabetes screening
“Consideration of specific medical guidance for management of patients and screening for diabetes in these circumstances should be made available to medical staff.”
