What do you when a diabetic is having hypo?

Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) is a serious medical condition that can happen to people with diabetes. It is important to know the signs of hypoglycemia and how to treat it.

Signs of hypoglycemia include:

* Shakiness

* Confusion

* Sweating

* Blurred vision

* Pale skin

* Feeling light-headed or dizzy

* Hunger

* Fast heartbeat

* Irritability

* Seizures

* Unconsciousness

If someone you know is experiencing any of these symptoms, you should immediately give them a sugary drink or snack, such as:

* 4 ounces of regular soda or orange juice

* 1 tablespoon of honey

* 15-20 hard candies

* 1 piece of fruit

* 2 tablespoons of raisins

* 8 ounces of milk

You should also call 911 or the local emergency number if the person's blood sugar does not improve after eating or drinking something sugary.

After the person's blood sugar has returned to normal, it is important to eat a meal or snack that contains complex carbohydrates and protein to prevent another episode of hypoglycemia.

If you have diabetes, it is important to monitor your blood sugar levels regularly to prevent hypoglycemia. You should also carry a glucagon kit with you in case of an emergency.
