[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 2282983, member: 345386"] Mark, my local Diabetes UK group became nearly £2k better off a couple of years ago, as a result of the funereal donations and a quiz organised by a local pub (The pub regularly raises for DUK), following the sudden death of a young man - 21/22 - in a hypo state. Allegedly, there had been alcohol in play and more than a "straightforward" hypo, but having a few drinks could easily fall into the "life gets in the way" category. I'm afraid neither I, not this organisation, would ever condone a laissez faire attitude to clinical hypos. Whether or not you mean it, that is, in my opinion, exactly how several of your posts read. As a T2, in longer term remission, and never having taken any meds for it, my personal experience of medically concerning hypos is the sum total of zero. That doesn't mean I have not read about them, and their potential path from just fine to fatal. That reading tells me that hypos don't fall into the "see how it goes in a few hours, when I feel a bit more like it" category. A reasonable exception could be immediately prior to carby food being on the table, in front of the individual. [/QUOTE]
