[QUOTE="squeeze321, post: 440662, member: 37207"] That is quite an ordeal you went through and I have also experienced a similar problem. The best advice I can give you is to explain to the people you work with closely, including your manager that there may be times during a hypo when you may need help opening packets of food/sweet drinks etc and that a loss of coordination is a symptom of hypoglycaemia. What you have experienced is sadly typical and although some colleagues may have heard of diabetes they can quite often be clueless about helping you when hypo. I have heard of diabetics being asked to go and find a first aider whilst hypo at work and barely being able to walk. I had a hypo at work today and despite knowing I was hypo my manager asked me to leave! [/QUOTE]
