Critical hypoglycemia is no joke — it’s the kind of low blood sugar where you can’t even treat yourself anymore. In this episode, Mike and Jack dive into what critical hypos are, how to spot the signs, and the emergency steps everyone with Type 1 (and their mates) should know.
We keep it real with our own scary experiences, plus some wild stories from Reddit, TikTok, and YouTube — from collapsing at weddings to hypo-zombies in nightclubs. You’ll laugh, you’ll cringe, and most importantly, you’ll learn how to stay safe when sugars crash hard.
