I was in an eatery in Aberdeen when I felt myself starting a hypo. I asked a member of staff where I could inject and was told "Not here! we don't allow drugs in here", I explained it was insulin for my diabetes and if I didn't inject soon she would be picking me up off the floor or calling an ambulance and I would be calling the press and my solicitor. Oh use the ******** loo then. I then sat down where I was and started to get the pen ready and was told in no uncetain times to get the **** out!. I just looked at her and did the injection them ate 5 jelly babies (as suggested in the care pack). As soon as I said I was feeling better she said oh well I will get your order now, I said No need, after those jelly babies I don't feel hungry now and walked out. I could hear her seathing behind me
I found another cafe just across the street, I must have looked out of sorts as the lady behind the counter asked if I was ok, when I explained she said sit down one tea and a ham salad sandwich on its way (No charge). Seem her son is type 2 also.
Ok I would like to clear up the confusion caused by my post. At the time of posting I didn't realise I was having a severe Hyper (numbers were over 28) In my cunfusion during the hyper I mixed two separate occasions hence the rather garbled message. A friend (also a member on here) from London realised I was in trouble by the way the message was worded and called my home phone till my partner woke up and helped me recover and called my doctor, was then taken to hospital and kept in till all was well again.
I am type 2, On a Bolus-Lantus regime. I inject Lantus morning and bedtime and insulin three times a day. I recently spent five days in hospital whilst the specialist tried to get my blood glucose numbers down to a level that is more acceptable than the high teens and low twenties (numbers now between 7 and 12.8).
To those that said they "smelled a rat" and those that just jumped on the bandwagon TF my life wasn't in your hands, it is posts like yours that are now making me rethink my membership of this forum.
