[QUOTE="Thundercat, post: 386538, member: 51047"] A few years ago after falling asleep in front of tv I woke with a hypo. Went and sat at kitchen table to treat it. My partner came to find me slumped over the table unconscious. He put me lying on the ground and administered Glucagon injection. Just over 10 minutes later I was conscious. I've never had a seizure but if my bs plummeted low enough to trigger one I would prefer the injection, maybe its because I know it works and how long it takes. I'd be a bit miffed if he did the sugar and water thing as it sounds very slow. How long would it take to injest even one teaspoon of sugar this way. I appreciate that it worked for you and your mother sounds like a very resilient person (my partner, always cool in a crises, had a mini panic!) but I guess it's horses for courses. To my mind the glucagon is as simple a solution as any. Sent from the [url=http://www.diabetes.co.uk/app/?utm_source=sig&utm_medium=txt&utm_campaign=appsig]Diabetes Forum App[/url] [/QUOTE]
