In this lively episode of We Are T1D, Mike and Jack delve into the unpredictable world of Type 1 Diabetes with a listener-submitted story titled "Shopping Mall Police." Brendan's tale takes us on a rollercoaster ride through a seemingly ordinary shopping trip that quickly spirals into chaos. Join us as we navigate the humorous and sometimes bewildering situations that arise when managing T1D in public.

Brendan recounts a memorable day when a low blood sugar episode during a shopping trip with his mum turned into a scene straight out of a comedy sketch. As he grapples with a hypo in the middle of a store, a security guard and two police officers mistakenly assume he's causing trouble. With his mum giving an impromptu lesson on diabetes, the situation is resolved with laughter and a newfound appreciation for the unpredictability of T1D.

Mike and Jack share their own experiences of going low while shopping, highlighting the challenges and sometimes embarrassing moments that come with it. They discuss the importance of preparation and how a simple snack can prevent a public spectacle. This episode is a testament to the camaraderie and shared experiences within the T1D community, reminding us all to find the humour in life's unexpected moments.
