@kevinfitzgerald The unhappy tree? I've missed that story somehow, also any mention of the police - has it been deleted or is it in another thread?
If you (like me) have a book's worth of amusing hypo anecdotes please do add them here!
Hypo stories - one of my favourite literary genres!
The thing I hate about asking for help is that I hate people fussing over me...maybe just that I'm not a good patient...maybe the time will come when I need help...but for the moment...as long as I can deal with it alone...I prefer to just get on with it.I am slowly - too slowly - learning to break the habits of a lifetime and ask for help when I am hypo. Being a single parent has really brought it home to me. No more self reliant heroics, no more trying to do it alone out of embarrassment or pride. My last hypo was not my worst ever, it was my "best ever" in that sense. I told the security guard I was diabetic, I needed sugar, it was an emergency, I was confused and couldn't find the drinks section, could he please get me a Coke and I would pay for it as soon as I felt ok. The guard got a manager and they found me a seat and kept an eye on me for what was probably half an hour until I felt ok and safe to continue. The point is, if you can bear to tell people you are diabetic, it's an emergency, and you need help, it can make a world of difference to the outcome. God knows those words can be hard for us to say.
On the contrary, if he triggered a hypo he was probably doing everything right. :-DMine is whilst having sex with a new partner and he thought he'd done something wrong ha

Hi @KevFitz, fellow 1981'er!I was diagnosed in 1981! Can you remember your first hypo (but not the one they deliberately give you in hospital so you know!)

Hi @KevFitz, fellow 1981'er!
Sorry its taken me so long to reply. I've been taking a break from this forum but presume in the meanwhile you've had time to work out how to tag members with @ or invite them to start private conversations? I have already posted some stories about my first hypos at different points earlier in this thread, but I wasn't diagnosed in the UK and never had the 'pleasure' of an induced hypo. In fact I never had hypos at all until I lost all warning symptoms in 1995 (have previously posted some comments on that too)
Hello there Mangobe,
Firstly you tagged KevFitz and my profile name is kevinfitzgerald and I still got your message. You can probably tell IT is not my first language !
Slowly learning the lingo. Yes I've learnt how to start private convo's. I will need to try and find the threads you've posted this on as sounds interesting.
I like mad hypo stories. I still need to post some more !
