[QUOTE="Katharine, post: 20247, member: 7958"] Another thing that is well worth doing is to explain to your work mates is HOW to spot you are having a hypo and WHAT to do about it. This is from the Dsolve course at [url=http://www.dsolve.com]http://www.dsolve.com[/url] Dealing with low blood sugars It is essential that you, your family and work colleagues know exactly what to do if you become low in blood sugar. If you are a kid tell the bus driver, your friends and your teachers that you have diabetes and what to do if you look low. Make out a personalised sheet and give it to anyone who may be in a position to rescue you out of a hypo. Put a copy in the survival pack. For example: I am Jenny Smith. I have insulin dependent diabetes. When I have low blood sugars I show these symptoms: 1. I am usually irritable. 2. I go pale. 3. I start to sweat. In this event, do this: 1. Give me some lucozade. It is in my backpack. Look for some glucose tablets in my pocket and give me those. 2. Give me a drink of milk or sugary water or fruit juice. These symptoms happen when my brain is not getting enough sugar. I cannot think and act appropriately for myself and may be bad tempered. If I don’t get sugar I could pass out. In case of difficulty please call: 1. Parents… Joe and Carol Smith 1234 456789 2. Friend…Mary Swanson 2468 101213 3. Doctor…Dr Margaret Reilly 3579 111315 If you don’t know what to do, or my medical condition does not improve or I pass out please call 999 or 911. Thankyou. [/QUOTE]
