Low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia) can cause unconciousness quite quickly. If the patient is conscious then you can give them a sugary drink (eg lucozade). If they are unconscious, giving anything by mouth can cause choking. You can carefully apply hypostop (glucose gel) to the gums which is rapidly absorbed. Alternatively they will need an injection of gucagen which mobilises the glycogen reserves in the body.
High blood sugar (hyperglycaemia) can only be treated by injection of insulin which balances the system and thereby lowers the blood sugar level. An unconcious patient will typically require urgent hospitalisation to achive this.

∙ 15y agoWhen someone has hypoglycemia, Or a "hypo" their blood sugar would be falling very quickly so action must be taken straight away. To get out of a hypo, you must have some instant sugar, such as a handful of jelly babies of half a can of coke. After the hypo is treated, you must have a starchy snack such as a biscuit, although not chocolate because chocolate will mess about the blood sugar and without a starchy snack the person will be hypo again. if the blood sugar falls too low then the person may become unconscious and will then need a sugary injection from a small orange box that should be with the diabetic.
