[QUOTE="JMK1954, post: 1914776, member: 352098"] Dazzeur, just make sure you have glucose available in some form and tell your colleagues where it is. You should always have your chosen hypo treatment in your pocket, in your bag, in your desk drawer. A packet or tube of glucose tablets could be given to whoever on the staff is a first-aider just in case of emergencies. You should be capable of dealing with a hypo yourself, but it may make your colleagues happier if you tell them you are chewing glucose tablets and why, until they get used to the situation. In my experience, people usually over-react the first time and want to call an ambulance in a panic, but they soon get used to the situation if you reassure them and explain. [/QUOTE]
