An Ikea staff member allowed a woman to bypass the queue at the Swedish furniture chain's bistro to get ice cream for her diabetic father, who had suddenly experienced low blood sugar. In a 47-second TikTok clip, the woman explained to her father how she had managed to skip the line after asking the ice cream staff: "Can you let me go first because my dad has low blood pressure?" Posted on Nov 4 with the caption, "Thank you Ikea for selling ice cream but no thank you to your maze that I had to sprint through so my dad would live another day", the video has since garnered over 729,600 views, 74,500 reactions, and 159 comments.   The woman later rushed to the Ikea bistro, describing the store as a "maze", and managed to get ice cream without joining the queue after explaining her father's situation to the staff.   She then delivered the ice cream back to her father, who recovered from the episode after a 15-minute rest. "She (the bistro staff) looked very upset," the woman recalled, but say that the staff later gave in and said, "Okay lah go". Netizens react and share diabetes tips Some viewers praised the staff's action. "Actually, this video is so important. Thanks for sharing," one netizen said, as others found it logically contradictory that a diabetic father could have low blood sugar. According to the National University Health System website, diabetic patients have the tendency to face low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia) when taking diabetes treatment such as insulin or glucose lowering tablets. These medications reduce blood glucose, which may drop too low if a patient delays a meal, skips eating, or engages in strenuous activity after medication. Other users shared tips with the TikToker on managing diabetes, including advice such as, "You should carry some sweets in your handbag," and "please standby some soft drink." Stomp has reached out to the TikToker and IKEA for comment.
