| Diabetes |
|
People
suffering from diabetes need to
control their blood sugar levels
by balancing the amount of sugar
in their diet with insulin injections.
As a result, many carry hypodermic
needles, insulin bottles, medication,
card or identity bracelet with
them, indicating that they have
diabetes.
If a person with diabetes on treatment
has missed a meal or taken too
much exercise, the concentration
of sugar in the blood falls, and
unconsciousness can follow. The
aim of first aid in this situation
is to
restore the sugar/insulin balance
as soon as possible.

Treatment |
| |
If the
patient is conscious and capable
of swallowing, immediately give
sugar lumps, a sugary drink, chocolate
or other sweet food in order to
raise the level of sugar in the
blood. If the casualty is unconscious
but breathing normally, place in
the recovery position, and carry
out general treatment for unconsciousness
call 15 immediately. If victim is
unconscious do not give anything
by mouth. |
