Hello everybody!
I would like to hear from diabetics who experienced problems when having hypos, due to the lack of knowledge of people trying to help, ignoring or overlooking it as something minor.
My partner is type 1 and we have recently been through a similar situation . I beleive this happens more often than we imagine, as recently a paramedic was struck off after refusing to treat a women having a hypo, saying that she was only drunk. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/m...de/8280785.stm
As a freelance journalist I would like to address this issues in the national and local press, specially when the World Diabetes Way approaches. But to do it so, I need more cases/personal stories.
So, if you have beeing through a situation of neglect (deliberate or due to lack of knowledge), I would love to hear from you.
Please get in touch
