[QUOTE="Jordi77, post: 2084401, member: 221771"] As a type 2 diabetic on insulin I was advised to stay away from corn syrup as it doesn't work and I can only let you know that a can of ordinary coke or a bottle is the only way as it has enough sugar to fetch you around and you also have to eat a sandwich on it as well and if it is really bad to call a ambulance and they will be able to advise you to but I can advise is I was done for drunk and disorder and the police knew nothing about diabetes until I was in the cells and they sent their nurse in and I was taking to hospital with a couple of officers and that was quicker than waiting for a ambulance and I was given a dextrose and water solution in the vein treatment to counter act the hypo and I was in hospital for for a week and I never even received a sorry for the arrest or anything but I can advise now that the police are able to check for hypos and whether you are a diabetic and your sugars are high and they will take you to hospital but that is what happened to me when I was diagnosed and that was 25 years ago and I have had no more miss haps but I have been in hospital due to my diabetes a few times [/QUOTE]
