I've always thought hypoglycemic to be something of a mouthful and more than a little underwhelming for such a potentially dramatic event. It further occured that since the accepted noun is hypo rather than "hypoglycemic episode" or somesuch then there is a very obvious adjective to use instead. Which I duly started using and a) rather liked it and b) found that everyone knew exactly what I meant.
Therefore I wish to officially annouce for your consideration a new adjective: HYPOTIC.
Example usage:
"Are you ok?"
"Yeah, I'm just feeling a little hypotic"
"I can't believe you did that!"
"What can I say? I was hypotic"
"Good God man can't you see I am hypotic! Fetch me a sticky bun."
And so on.
I would encourage you all to use this word (its royalty free) amongst your friends and family and with your doctors and carers. and hopefully it will catch on.
If you are in America you might like to explain that the word is all the rage in England (US Docs are almost all golf obsessives and therefore unreconstructed Anglophiles).
If you are in England then say its a new invention from a multi-million dollar research project at Stanford and they will start using the term in the hope of being seen as progressive and deserving of a lucrative job in sunny California rather than a badly paid job in dreary Wolverhampton.
If you are French say it in a breathy accent while gently touching your Endo's knee and asking him/her if they are free for dinner on Saturday evening. (Do NOT try this in the US or you will be court for years)
I thank you for your atttention.
