There is a Danish proverb that states ‘Better to ask twice than lose your way once’. Unfortunately however, in my opinion, people living with diabetes – especially those with type 2 diabetes – do not question their healthcare professionals enough about what they can expect from living with the condition. This is especially true in the area of hypoglycaemia – or low blood sugar.1 We often attribute diabetes with high blood sugar, but many people don’t appreciate the potential dangers of letting their blood sugar get too low.
