There are a lot of people that don't know what its all about. One of the lecturers told me of a student who pulled a cooked chicken out of her bag & started to eat it in class. She was T1 & claimed she had to eat all the time. I don't know what she was thinking. Poor lecturers.

That doesn't make sense as there's hardly any carb in chicken (well hardly any as it's protein)
Yeah I know I don't like it when students say odd comments once one of my classmates said isn't that what you get for eating too much sugar as my nan has it. (i find it worse when teachers comment about it like I've Been asked by teachers like several times can you eat ice cream or what can't you eat) it just annoys me a lot as we T1 can eat anything as long as we do our stuff.
(I also remember back in year 10 during assembly hardly none of the teachers knew I was Diabetic.So when I had a hypo. I nearly got a detention because of it as the teacher who saw was like you can't eat during assembly put it away)

Good stuff Hobie 🙂 You have had over 50 years experience, after all! 🙂
 
If anybody gets time TRY & describe a hypo to someone strange. I was riding along in my car to the event trying my best to sound not daft. (I know its hard to believe 😱). Its harder than you think to a bunch of lecturers :D (clever types 😉)
