If the blood glucose levels of a person with diabetes drop to very low levels they can have what is known as a Severe Hypoglycaemic Episode, in which they become unconscious or have a seizure. In this situation a Glucagon Injection needs to be administered as soon as possible.
This video will teach you how to administer a Glucagon Injection and is a perfect tool if you have diabetes and find it difficult to explain the important topics of Severe Hypoglycemia and Glucagon to your friends, family and peers.
Remember if you had one coma you likely to have another one, unless if you can figure out what was the reason for the coma and correct it. Reasons could being active, too much insulin or not enough food. But please note if any alcohol has been involved glucagon injection would not work and an ambulance should be called immediately.
