to think shops and cafes should give free sugery drinks to diabetic people in emergency situations?

[ikeaismylocal]

I saw a mum with 3 children having what looked like the beginnings of a fit at a shopping centrer today, everyone else was walking past ignoring her ( whole other thread) I stopped and tried to talk to her but she was very confused and kept trying to tell me her mobile number. I ran into a shop and asked them to call an ambulance ( I had no phone or money, dp had all my things in ds's pushchair and I was meeting him at the car, I'd stopped to go to the toilet)

Her children were about 6 months, 2 and 5, the poor 5 year old was terrified and wouldn't say anything but I chatted to her and told her everything would be ok and after a while she told me her mum was diabetic.

I ran to the nearest cafe and explained there was a diabetic woman who needed a sugary drink and could I have a coke and come back and pay after as I had no money, the lady gave me a coke and I ran back, the diabetic mum drank the coke but was still shaking and sluring her words, I ran back to the cafe and explained and asked for another coke, the lady said no she wouldn't give me anything as I hadn't paid, I'm 7 months pregnant so running isn't something I look at ease doing, I also don't think I look like a kid trying to get some free coke.

I went to a shop further away and they gave me 2 cans of coke. The diabetic lady recovered quite quickly once she had drunk the coke.

Aibu to think that shops and cafes should give free sugery drinks if they are needed?

Hi all,

Thanks to everyone who reported this thread.

We've deleted a post by Yellowfins which was beyond the pale, and suspended her ability to post as we had evidence of her sockpuppeting too. We'll be looking into the rest of the thread now.

I'm sorry that a thread I started has caused people to be hurt, some of the opinions are truely disgusting, I hope Inever meet people with such selfish short sighted opinions in real life.

Don't be sorry you started the thread - you couldn't have predicted such twattery and thanks to you I now know what symptoms to look out for and how to help, should I ever need to.

Not your fault OP.

Dear god.

to glamping. Do not let the words of a worthless troll affect you please. You sound like a lovely person, and I wish you the best in life.

Ikea, it wasn't your fault. You can't be responsible for a troll. You did a great thing helping that woman, and that's what I think we should all come away with from this thread. As well as hopefully some more people aware of symptoms and how to help.

Just be glad the woman you helped came into contact with you ikea and not some of the eegits on this thread. They'd have the invoice book out before handing over the coke to her.

OMG! Shocked at some of the posts on this thread.

Ikea, threads can go any direction at all on AIBU, but you have to be a seriously disturbed person to post some of the things which have been said here. Not your fault.
