[QUOTE="ebony321, post: 147494, member: 17199"] Thought i'd add my two cents. I think it's down to the person, if someone with diabetes genuinely does have problems waiting in a queue or has a child with diabetes then that's the exact reason those bands were created! When i went to alton towers i was low twice (due to the large walking around) i simply had some glucotabs and something to keep me going and got on with it and got in the queue with everyone else!! But if i had no hypo awareness (which i assume if you were to collapse sunddenly it's not good being halfway in the queue where nobody can reach you) or like previously said some other condition which would affect your control then with my doctors permission to ask for a band i would... i guess that guy could be labelled as ignorant but i'd much rather go for uneducated in depth with diabetes. if i needed a band and was refused i would explain why i needed one instead of losing my rag and being rude. and finally this worries me: ''I get to the ride and ignore my symptoms because I am excited about getting on and then have a hypo whilst on it.” That's very ridiculous you should never ignore hypo syptoms. if you went low on the ride it's dangerous for yourself and your ruining everybody elses good time too. and i'm sure you wouldnt want to embarrass yourself like that. With diabetes i try to avoid any unecessary attention and anybody thinking i need to be 'looked after' i've only just got people to stop asking me if i should eat this or eat that. nevermind people thinking i can stand in a queue!!
