Walking home from the Norwich game on the path along side the A50 up to Heron Cross I was taken ill. I don't know what the hell happened or what I was doing. All I know is I eventually collapsed in a diabetic coma. I would like to thank the several Stokies that helped me. My sincerest and heartfelt thanks to them and also to the police who alerted my wife and also the paramedics who bought me out of the coma. I vaguely remember a bloke catching hold of me and asking if I was epileptic other than that and coming around in the ambulance. If ever I see any of you walking to a game and I don't speak it isn't out of ignorance. I just can't remember. Thanks again one and all. On a lighter note when I eventually got home the wife did me 3 rounds of bacon cheese and tomato boost the blood sugar up a little more. THANKS LADS AND THE TWO LADY PARAMEDICS

Glad to hear you're ok mate. My Mrs has been a type 1 diabetic for 45 years and I can spot her going hypo way before she realises she is low. She jabs four times a day which sounds awful but actually she has much more control over her sugar levels than when she was on only two. Do you wear Medic Alert bracelet or necklace?

Glad you're alright now mate. When we passed you the paramedics were looking after you - they obviously knew what they were doing. All the best buddy and thanks for letting us know you're ok

And apologies from me, I was moaning like a good 'un because of how slow the walk up the path was. It was only when we got to the bridge that we realised why. Glad you're ok mate.

I'm on four injections a day also mate. I was a complete idiot last night. I had a small tea and didn't cut my insulin thinking I'd be ok. Thought I had a tenner in my pocket so if I became hypo I could get a burger or coke. I'd changed my trousers forgetting to take the tenner out. The only thing I had on me was my season ticket. Left my wallet at home with my card stating I'm diabetic. Pushed my luck to far. Vile experience I'm going to get a bracelet or necklace.

Glad to hear you're ok mate. My wife is type 1 and on 4 injections like yourself and I've had this happen to her before and it's pretty frightening to see, she became completely paralysed almost, unable to talk etc. Good that you got sorted quickly. Take care.

Me and my old man were having a right good whinge about that bloody path, felt quite bad when we got up to you and realised why! You looked like you were in good hands, and plenty of concerned Stokies around, glad you're ok mate!

I'm type 2 and very rarely have an attack-but had one once in Stafford;I was rolling round like I'd had 20 pints.It frightened the wife,and me to be honest-always have something with you is always the best advice.

I'm T2 (controlled by Metformin) so I don't experience hypos like T1 diabetics but I'm sure I've seen a bracelet advertised which has a little compartment that can hold a dextrose tablet or jelly baby - enough to get you home to your meds when out and about...

My missus is type 1, she has four injections a day too. Keeps bruising the hell out of her stomach and legs. Anyone would think I've been battering her. We always try keep something around to get her levels up if she is feeling shaky.
Really glad ur ok, walked up the path yesterday too, wondering what was taking so long, but didn't cross the bridge so I was oblivious to it.

I carry 2 chocolate sweets in my pocket, at all times, for just such an emergency. Have never had to use them but, as they say, prevention much better than cure. Worth considering. Glad original poster recovered ok and well done to all those that assisted.

THANKS LADS AND THE TWO LADY PARAMEDICS The bloke who caught you was my dad, he rung me last night and told me exactly what happened. He was concerned about your well-being after you were taken in the ambulance so he'll be glad to know you are on the mend when I tell him!

Glad your back on your feet fella, walked past you and feared the worst having seen the poor chap in block 26. Couldn't believe it when I saw you, made me forget about the performance that's for sure! Might not be the place to post this but sometimes Stoke fans get negative press, its good to hear of all the heroics of a good few people last night, well done to all involved in helping these folk in need of medical assistance, I doff my cap!

I feel dreadful as I had a right old chuckle thinking you had had a skinful. Bit of a wake-up call to ALL of us who just walked on by. Apologies again, and glad you feel ok.

I'm type 1 and have been since I was 8 years old. At least 3 injections a day depending on how much I'm eating. If anything my blood sugars would be high at the match given the ale consumption My wife also knows before I do which i find quite weird. Glad to hear you're ok.

Me and my friends walked past you just as the police got there, we asked if everything was ok and was told that you'd be ok so we carried on as we didn't want it to turn into a circus side show. Glad to hear you're ok. Gouranga.
