[QUOTE="michaeldavid, post: 386645, member: 57211"] A glucagon pen may be fine, if you have one handy, and if it isn't out of date, and if the patient has recently eaten significantly. (For glucagon to be effective, I have been given to understand that it's necessary for the patient to have eaten significantly in the recent past.) Moreover, my previous query remains completely untouched. IF IT IS CAUGHT EARLY ENOUGH, hypoglycaemic unconsciousness can quickly and safely be remedied by repeatedly wiping wetted sugar across the lips of the patient. So why does that elementary recourse not feature in the standard advice? (If an ambulance has been called, the above recourse can be followed whilst one waits for the ambulance to arrive.) No-one has so far given a good reason why it doesn't feature in the standard advice. (In my last post, I suggested an explanation.) Indeed it appears that the standard advice is flawed. [/QUOTE]
