I would have high -tailed it to the nearest exit. Boy, Next time put your turn on the lock feature just in case you end up with the same or another idiot.
My policy is "look, but don't touch" especially if the person "looking" is an individual with limited diabetes knowledge, as obviously that endo is. I hope you made it clear that what she did (tried to do) could have led to a very bad situation.
oh yes i let her have it i think the dietician took me earlier then i was suppose too everyone in office knew what happened i have a very loud angry voice
