Saw this story on the news this evening. Such a good story. Makes me think that every child of a diabetic must know what to do! This isn't the first story like this I've heard of but just makes me think...

Comment by Judith on January 27, 2013 at 9:45pm This one may be fine, but as Ds we need to check and double check for misinformation. I read one from a trusted friend (a TuD board member) on FB today where in a similar circumstance, the MisInformation put out into the world about the whats and whys of a hypo were dangerously inaccurate......Follow through on details and correct where you can. We all depend on this!!!!...Blessings. ..Judith in Portland

Comment by Stemwinder on January 28, 2013 at 6:33pm This is a well written article and much better than this article in Shawnmaries forum post http://www.tudiabetes.org/forum/topics/i-know-it-s-only-a-yahoo-art... Which is full of mis-information. Thanks MandiG for posting this and thanks Shawnmarie for bringing the other so-called news story to light.
Comment by Shawnmarie on January 30, 2013 at 9:18am It is absolutely incredible that these two stories are about the same event. This reporter clearly has a clue and provided so many important details that the other story left out and/or got completely wrong. I only wish the family kept glucose tablets at the ready rather than a candy bar. Quickness counts in those situations!
