We were queuing for about an hout in the evening outside a chipshop, saturday night so was quite warm and once inside another queue in the heat. We were just about to get served whem i told my wife i didnt feel to good (when this has happened before - hypo - i have had about 25 minutes to get some jelly babies or something similar) this time though within 10 seconds i couldnt talk, my hands were gripped onto the counter and started shaking. My hearing started to go and i couldnt make anything out with my eyes.
All i can remember next is a can of coke been forced into my mouth and down my neck. With someone saying "its all right darling, your doing great, you will be alright, it was close but your doing fine"
Apparently my wife had shouted out he's diabetic while running out to get my jelly babies from the car, in the meantime another customer, lady, had shouted get him a can of coke and the bloke tried to put it in my hand, luckily she took it off him knowing i couldnt move and tilted.my head back and just poured the coke in. Some of which went all down my shirt.
By the time the can was empty i started to regain my vision and full hearing. The staff got me a chair and after 5 minutes i was right as rain. The lady who helped has a son who is diabetic and he has crashed like that a few times before. Apparently i wouldnt have been able to swallow the jelly babies and if i couldnt swallow the coke at least it would be on my gums and in my mouth so my body would have absorbed the sugar.
So a very bad hypo or classed as a seizure?
