I can announce I survived trial by diabetes training... the trainer may have had to go and recover, though!
I started the day with a practical demonstration of a hypo (3.7) for my colleagues' enhanced learning whilst we were waiting for the trainer to arrive. I announced "Well, you lot have all failed before you've started - did anyone notice I was having a hypo which I've just spent the last 20 minutes treating." once I felt more myself again.
I cheerfully demonstrated how to test for blood sugars and ketones, showed off all the kit, owned up to most of my bad habits, rammed home the message "We're all different and what works for me may not work for X, Y or Z, or our notorious T1D student." and that I may know my stuff, but it's totally different doing it on someone else.
Time for food... I'm exhausted after a day of doing almost more training than the trainer.
