I don't know enough about diabetes to recognise danger signs

The people on the other end of 999 will tell you what to do, if you're calm there's no reason it should be serious.

also had my GP aunt on the phone too. But I noticed she was sweating and almost nodding off, but I thought she was just tired and in the heat. It was terrifying.

I learnt the danger signs quite rapidly
After my diabetic uncle was driving a group of us to a pub in the middle of nowhere* after dark and started to go hypoglycaemic, declining my father's offer to take the wheel and insisting that he'd be fine as he narrowly avoided putting the car into a ditch...

Apparently people have been arrested while having a hypo
for acting very strange. Kitty mentions she almost got punched in the face, I got kicked in the face and chest several times. Apparently being "combative" is a symptom. Sugar's WEIRD.
