Great news @HOBIE. What topics did you cover and what questions did the students ask?
 
I told them mainly about Hypos. When a patient is having a hypo & is out of it. There head is in a different place. I cant talk about everyone but "you are fighting for your life" Not deliberately but it is weird feeling . Hard to explain but I did my best for someone who is in distress :(
 
Good for you HOBIE ~ the word has to be spread - so many people are diabetes ignorant ~ well done you

Thanks Wirralass. when I was talking to them they understood it was from someone who had been there. As I have said in the past "try & describe a Hypo". Not many Drs can because they have not had one 😉
