[QUOTE="Alliballi, post: 218506, member: 37472"] Had the same thing happen to me last year.....I had left my car to pop to the end of the road to post a letter, and whilst going back i came over all shaky and knew I was having a hypo. No shops open but I noticed a charity shop(Martlets) lights on. :D A lady was at the counter and as the door was locked I knocked the door and asked her if she could help me as I was diabetic and needed a sugary drink...She looked up and totally ignored me.. My hypo was now getting bad,and I was crying and shouting at her to please help me, which she continued to ignore me...I knew she could hear me.. I then fell down and leaned against the door and was slumped and sobbing!! A lot of people walked by me and ignored me....The next thing the police arrived and hauled me up quite aggressively...They asked me my name but I couldn't answer and thankfully my Mum arrived as she was waiting in the car for me and wondered why I was taking so long to post a letter. She explained to the police that I was a diabetic.They then changed their tune a bit and told us that the woman in the shop had called them to say she was being harassed by someone drunk or on drugs!!! :shock: After a sugary drink, I explained to the police I was telling her I was a diabetic, and just asking for some sugar, and the fact she ignored my plea, and that my blood sugar was getting lower, was actually making my attitude get worse...and that I found it unbelievable that she couldn't just come to the door and be a decent "charitable" human being and just say she couldn't open the door for security reasons but she would get me some help. The police were sympathetic and said in future if ever this happened again its best not to bang on doors of closed shops! :? What with all the passers by ignoring me too, maybe it would have been best to lay flat out on the pavement and hope someone would have called 999....But more than likely they would have just stepped over me thinking I was paralytic!!! Sad old world really isn't it, as having a hypo is embarrassingly bad enough without the majority not even asking if you are okay, and just assuming you're drunk or on drugs! :oops: [/QUOTE]
