People should know that just as diabetics can get sick from too high a blood sugar (hyPERglycemia), they can also become ill from too low blood sugar (hyPOglycemia). Too many people are under the impression that diabetes = no sugar, when in reality sometimes a diabetic can c’v die without it. Diabetics can usually tell if they’re feeling ill because of too much or too little, and anyway, they can check to know for sure. So if you see a diabetic about to stuff some cake into his mouth, don’t come running to the rescue! He probably needs that cake!
