[–]MayetteBird 7 points 3 days ago PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't do this for type 1 diabetic people. It's far better to wait until the medical services arrive, because by the time the diabetic person is unconscious the sugar from cake icing/juice boxes/"candy" is not going to help/might hurt, the trained EMTs know what to do, random person on the street not so much. Also, if you do not know the person/ a random person passes out and you see they have a medical alert bracelet or necklace that says diabetic, you should know diabetics can pass out from being too high or too low, so more sugar will definitely not do any good. Best thing to do is make sure they are comfortable and get emergency services. Now if the diabetic person is conscious and says "I'm very dangerously low" they probably don't have glucose on them, so get them juice boxes. Two or three apple juices will help them stabilize. Way quicker, simpler, more efficient, and people are more likely to have juice boxes in public places. After they get some juice try and get some carbs in them - they are slow releasing sugars that will keep them stable. Soda crackers work really well in a pinch. So yeah, TL;DR: don't fuss with passed out type 1 diabetic people's sugars, IMMEDIATELY call an ambulance, and don't put things in their mouth. If a diabetic person is low give them juice boxes and crackers. (Source: BFFs for 7 years with a type 1 diabetic, had to get the rundown and now help give the rundown when she's too fed up with people thinking they understand how it works. Bonus trivia: Diabetics can eat pretty much everything - candy and sugar isn't going to kill them, they just need to take adequate shots of insulin to compensate. Another fact: once a diabetic has taken their shot they pretty much are locked in for how much food they have to eat - DO NOT take food off a diabetic's plate once they have taken their insulin) context
