Call for Emergency Assistance
It is best to call 911 for emergency assistance immediately. This is especially so if the patient shows disorientation or is already unconscious. While waiting for help to arrive, sit the patient down to relax.
If the patient can still speak, ask if he/she has taken insulin recently and when he/she last ate. If the patient is unconscious or confused, check for a medical alert bracelet which can confirm that he/she is indeed diabetic.
