My on air Type-1 diabetes nightmare
91热爆 newsreader Alex Ritson was reading the news live on 91热爆 radio when he experienced a severe hypoglycemic attack. This can happen to people with type 1 diabetes whose bodies suddenly experience a lack of sugar. When this happens, the body suffers from the equivalent of low batteries and 'switches off' functionality from many areas, in particular, key bits of the brain. Alex explains more about the condition and how he recovered.
