BBC Article on Presenter’s Hypo

Hi,

Looks like it happened 11 days ago?
Listening to the audio. I actually applaud Alex's professionalism as he attempts to hold it together..

I feel for the guy.

In other news. @London36_ , would you like me to move this thread to diabetes discussion.
It may get more response if homed there?
 
Been there before and a very horrible experience.

It can sometimes feel like an out of body experience and somehow you are aware but not and just cannot snap out of it.

Been very lucky and not had to be rescued like that, as come to my senses (eventually) and reached for something sugary but is scary.

Is a constant risk as you try to keep blood sugars under control.

I think this episode and the way Alex handled it was absolutely brilliant - he's highlighted exactly what it was and how it needs to be handled and has in turn helped debunk the differences between acting drunk and having a hypo which can so easily be confused - I commend this guy 100% for the way he's explained it and the support it's given to all insulin dependent diabetics in promoting this incident.
