occasionally have a hypo, explain what happens and what they might need to do, offer to talk it through with their first aider (who will have been trained about it anyway
I Think you are being optimistic firstly that they have a anything more than a Nominal First Aider and that if they have had training at all it would have included any training on diabetes and Hypos I would follow the actions of a previous poster and print of directions of how to deal with Hypos and make sure a copy is attached to Your Personnel File and given to any first aiders and make sure your immediate Work colleagues know what to do and also that all first aid boxes have detail and glucose tablets clearly marked if required with your name. I was a trained first aider by St John Ambulance (No mention of diabetes.) Better to be safe
than sorry.
