Anyone can sue anyone for anything. The more important question is whether you will be able to find an attorney to represent you in a lawsuit against hospital on a contingent-fee basis. Generally speaking, a personal injury attorney will be looking to see if you have suffered substantial injury -- that has a substantial monetary value -- as a result of negilgence that is relatively easily proven. Your facts do not make the hospital's liability for your diabetes and premature baby clear. You should discuss the situation with an attorney.
