Hello everyone!
I shared my really weird situation i got into on saturday. And a memeber told me to make a separate post.
I finally decided to go out with my friends for a few drinks, during the night i had 2 and a half drinks.
Before i begin. I rarely drink and been a barmen for 6 years, i study cinematography and film making and i am on my last year of Uni.
i controlled myself during this incident and didnt became super weird during the hypo, and tryed to use common sence when it was possible.
My sugar went down to 2.1 and i went to the bar. My friends offered to help but i went alone as i was still feeling ok. I asked one of the security guards who was blocking the way to help me, i informed him that im diabetic type 1 with a hypo he told me to drink the cider i had in my hands and wait. I told him its not possible to know how much sugar it has as it does not have a label. He stafted saying that im annoying him and grabbed me by the neck and kicked me outside.
Leaving me outside for the worst hour of my life. My sugar was 2.1 before it happened, all my bellonging were inside (sugar meter, money, phone and sweets).
The security guard that assaulted me went back in. And his ''medically trained'' colleague explained me why i do not have a diabetis... and why the device connect to me is not a pump. Well dont get too excited it's not some sort of miracle. I do have diabetes type 1 and had it for over 10 years. I kept telling him that im diabetic with a hypo and explaining it to him. He got angry aswell because i said that i got assaulted. He was shouting and spitting in my face for 30 mins till i gived up and went to get police before i went to coma.
The guards were aware that im diabetic with a hypo.. and that i might get into coma. They refused to call a manager multiple times. Some staff members pretended to be managers. When the real manager came out he gived me a fake email for complains.
I managed to get my stuff back after running up to police car and begging them to help me. THANKS GOD THEY HAD SWEETS! All together i spend around 2-3 hours with low sugar till i managed to get to a takeaway that was open.
My sugar kept jumping all night and this was the craziest thing that ever happened to me. I never though that asking for help could put me in a coma.
What should i do in this situation?
When they hold your money and sugar meter and you having a hypo outside because you get kicked out after asking for help?
I feal that as diabetic i can't go out confortably anywhere.
Please let me know what would you do in this situation! And if that ever happened to you
Im going to citizen advice today, putting in a police report, contacted my doctor explaining what happened and asked for help.
