It seems reasonable to assume that as a formerly diagnosed T2, non-medicated - for anything, without any form of condition (thankfully) to qualify me for an exemption certificate, I will have a differing viewpoint to those with T1 or serious co-morbidities, but it strikes me that a bit of expanded thinking could be useful in certain instances.
Having never knowingly had a hypo, and certainly never a serious one, I cannot know what it feels like to do so, however surely if an individual is experiencing very frequent hypos that needs to be addressed by other means than drinking sugary drinks? I don't necessarily mean during the hypo itself, but a review of the preventative steps the individual could employ, whether that be diet, medication, testing or any other relevant factors.
Where I have greatest issue is where individuals are looking for support for their preferred way of managing their blood sugars during regular exercise and the like. I find it much harder to oooooooze much empathy there. That an individual chooses to exercise is clearly good, but again, if hypos, or near hypos, are being induced by the exercise, could there be an alternative to necessarily a fizzy drink - whether by exploring earlier feeding or drinking non-taxable fluids?
