If someone you love has diabetes, having a plan and knowing first aid can be lifesaving for them. Here’s how Dana, who has type 1 diabetes, stays prepared for a low blood sugar emergency. If a person is unresponsive: - Call 911. - Turn them on their side into a recovery position. - Make sure their airway is clear. - Monitor their breathing until help arrives. If a person is alert: - Have them check their sugar levels. - If their levels are low or they can’t test, give them 20 grams of sugar if they’re an adult or 15 grams if they’re a child. - Have them check their levels again if possible. - If their condition does not change within 10 minutes or worsens, call 911.
