[QUOTE="squeeze321, post: 255669, member: 37207"] Hi blonagael, I was shocked and sickened when I read about your experience of going hypo at work. How dysfunctional can they get? To provoke a diabetic person whose having a hypo in such a way is disgraceful. I am also shocked to read that your boss was a first aider. I have had type 1 diabetes for 30 year this year and I have had many jobs but have never experienced any issues like that in a work place. I had a manager who kept a can of sugar cola in her drawer because she had seen diabetics go hypo in the past. I always have sugary sweets on me anyway for emergencies but it was nice to know that she really understood. I once went hypo at work and when I was eating dolly mixtures at my desk colleagues were helping them selves until I told them to S*D OFF and would they take an inhaler off an asthmatic.........all you diabetics out there [b]don't let them pinch your sweets[/b]. Blonagael the first aider in your company needs some info on diabetes and hypos they need to educate themselves before they feel the 'strong arm of the law....round their necks' [/QUOTE]
