Low sugar and emergencies

A

woman has a lot of roles to play in the family and society. A lot of times women are present in the homes and thus awareness among women about what to do during health emergencies can help.

Low sugar is one of the most common emergencies that people face that require emergency care medicine and first aid. It can mimic stroke, seizure, profuse sweating, slurring of speech, limb weakness, and more. But if you think that the symptoms are because of low sugar then here is what you should do. If you can converse with the patient, give them a glass of water and wait for them to get better.

But if they are unconscious, do not give them water since it can enter the windpipe instead of the food pipe.

Instead, if you have a glucometer you can use that. Or you can put a piece of chocolate over their tongue. The chocolate will dissolve and increase the blood sugar of the patient.

If the patient doesn’t get better or respond, immediately take them to the emergency care hospital.
