Right I need to rant. Not about the team, about the stewards supervisor AKA little hitler, being a insulin dependant diabetic I was going into.a hypo and needed carbohydrates to.raise my blood sugar so.I asked.the stewards if I could go to.the burger bar to.get some chips etc. While I.was getting served the lady steward supervisor no 22 and I use the term.lady loosely, came over to me in a aggressive manor and said quote " you don't go through those Fucking doors until I say so"' I tried to explain why I had gone to the burger van 10 minutes before half time. At which she carried on ranting and raving.and swearing at me, even the guy and girls were shocked at what they witnessed. Inside the stadium I asked her what she wanted me to do, wait until I went into a diabetic coma, her reply was her husband is diabetic and yes as they have medical staff to deal with that and that nobody goes through the fucking doors until she says so.
So is this how stoke city treat a supporter and season ticket holder for over 40 years, if so, shame on you Stoke.

Sounds like the steward in question was out of order but why don't you take food in with you for such an event? |

There’s also the Showsec youth who was blocking the exit doors in the Boothen after the Brentford game. Happy to slam doors into people’s faces and tried to start a fight with a guy after abusing his daughter.
The club employs complete morons all over the place.
By the sounds of things the incident described by the OP is completely unacceptable, but it seems futile complaining about things. The club employs 2 utter morons at director level so what chance do we have in them getting it right lower down the food chain???

Not being unsympathetic but I thought the management of diabetes these days was a bit more scientific than a mad dash through the gates for a burger and large fries !
Count yourself lucky you didn't get pepper sprayed !

Would lodge the complaint under those terms - only because it needs an official response and so gets traction and can't be ignored. Is up to the club to train its staff. (That's a joke all round, right?!) Horrible what happened to you, hope you are Ok now. www.diabetes.org.uk/resources-s3/migration/pdf/Employment-advocacy-pack-2013.pdf |

Let Malcolm Clarke know about this issue, this supervisor who masquerades as a human being should be kicked out of door never to return. Hope you are okay now.

It depends mate I can be fine one minute and in a coma the next, I always carry insulin with me but this doesn't help when blood sugar levels are low. Being a diabetic myself for 27 years I’ve learned to take dextrose tablets with me to the match just in case my blood sugar goes low. I’ve had to use them once or twice. |

May I suggest a carb counting course?
Apologies if you've already done one. If not, speak to your GP. It's a good course that aims to modify the amount of insulin you inject per grams of carbohydrate eaten.
The aim is to normalise your blood sugar levels for longer, with a view to making the hypos and hypers less frequent and less severe.
It's well worth asking the question, trust me.
