[QUOTE="Timostags, post: 1914845, member: 490251"] I have had a hypo at work that caused me to completely pass out (over 10 years ago). I don't really remember it apart from coming round in the staff room with a paramedic in front of me. Luckily I had told people I worked with about the diabetes. In my current job I told a couple of people I work with closely that I was diabetic, inject insulin and sometimes need to grab a sugary drinks if my sugars drop too low. That's all I tell people initially, but when people see you check your sugars etc they tend to ask questions and tell me stories about Thier friend/relative that also has diabetes so then I go into more detail. I recently started wearing a libre sensor and people that didn't know I'm diabetic have asked what it is. The people I work with are great at picking up when I am low, they can notice I am low before I realise and will say to me that I'm talking **** again and to check sugars lol [/QUOTE]
