I had a hypoglycemic attack at work, and my co-workers all stood around confused as I asked them to fetch me some sugar or candy. I was like, I'm the one having the medical emergency but why are you all stunned and panicked to the point of not actually helping???!? Where were the jellies!!! Thankfully one of my co-workers who happened to have a diabetic son, ended up walking into this scene of me sweating and my eyes starting to roll around and she immediately ran and got me some candy. I definitely started carrying glucose tabs at all times on me after that nightmare.
If you have a medical condition it’s good to tell people around you what to do in case of an emergency.
You can't blame them for not knowing of your medical condition
@@tifahxx Please Re-read...if someone, is literally telling you what to do to help them in a medical emergency and you're not doing it...that was the issue. At the time I had about 100 co-workers, so yeah, kind of difficult to find the time to sit every single one of them down and try to explain what all they need to do especially as they worked revolving shifts and many were transient or seasonal.
@@Banyo__ When my mom had 1200 sugar I will admit I panicked because I was scared for a second as I didn't know she had diabetes
@@Banyo__ if you know your diabetic you should know to carry low snacks with you at all times you just never know so people wouldn't have to run around looking for candy. People panic when scared I did when I found out my mom was diabetic because I wasn't expecting it.
I like how carefully shes counting those jellies

@@hopenolly Does Christ have jelly babies though?
@@jamesfoo8999 Good, because God doesnt demand he asks and you either refuse at your own peril or accept at your salvation
They really gave that 3 jelly babies a good thought.

Instead of sweets, try a juice or Coke. My mum is diabetic and when she had a severe episode, it really helped as she was barely conscious and could easily swallow the liquid. It’s also easier to administer if you need a strangers help.

They could aspirate and get pneumonia or choke.
@@badfish1103 Well that's why you don't try and get someone who isn't "alert" to drink 🤗 It was mentioned in the video.
@@richardboothby5694 I was replying to the suggestion of using liquids by the person above.
@@badfish1103 Oops sorry :)
Glad I always bring a bag of emergency jelly babies with me in case a stranger on the street begins to go into hypoglycaemia
Wow youre so kind
A small bottle of juice is better they drink it quickly or honey that is what I give to my teenage sons
rachell cisneros sis it was a joke 🥴🥴
The Ol’ Razzle Dazzle not funny
rachell cisneros shame innit
My friend is diabetic and his blood dropped to 1.9 when he was at my house because we always go on the trampoline so I decided to watch this video even tho it wasn’t one of my links from school
You are a good friend.
Give your life to Christ today before it's too late!
You are a good man. A year late but still.
I have always been taught that during a hypo you get them something high in quick release sugar and then once they're able, give them something high in carbs as slow release sugar. If they get a hit of fast release sugar but nothing to keep those sugar levels up, they'll go back into a hypo

@@hopenolly I do not give anything to any god who demands it from me...
@@hopenolly how about a jelly bean?
If they are alert, a peanut butter and honey sandwich is a good choice (after the sugary drink). The honey puts the blood sugar up and the peanut butter keeps it there.
I’ve had very bad episodes, so I kinda live with the constant fear that a low sugar episode might occur. Watching this helped me understand what’s the best course of action
I am a St John's ambulance cadet 🚑😀 watching these as a recap before my unit is back on due to covid19, hope everyone's alright out there
@@yaqoobrahman1248 huh?
Hey! I’m on the waiting list for st Johns ambulance and I’m so scared! What do you do on your first day? I’m super scared and I don’t know what to expect
@@Ella_gwenllian first off, dont be scared, you'll be well welcomed into your troop whererever you are, I don't know about anywhere else but nothern Ireland as that's where I am, but if I remember correctly you'll get to learn the basics of first aid, yourself and all the other new cadets will probably be taken into a group and taken through the things you're learning, what you do on your first night really depends on the schedule of the troop! Hope you get in! It's a great thing to be in!
@@samcree3051 thanks so much!! This really helped!!! 💖
@@Ella_gwenllian no worries buddy! You joining in the UK?
I had this symptoms for around 20 years, sometimes almost completely losing consciousness only because I didn't eat something. I explain to the GP doctors 3 times and they never know what's that. They send me for a blood test [but never check the sugar] and say that I just might be little bit anemic. They spend so many years in those medic school and are not able to even learn basic symptoms for diabetic. I had to learn myself how to come to mine own rescue based on years of experience. Actually, eating something sweet makes me seek and it's kind of "too late" thing. The best thing is juice. It takes many hours [sometimes 3 days, depends how sever is the episode] to recover. For so many years I can't never let myself go hungry and as time progress it gets worse.
You should maybe seek out a specialist who literally deals with this all day long rather than your GP or at the very least specifically request a blood sugar test.
My best friend was just diagnosed with diabetes and I would like to get as much information on it in case she ever gets an episode. This video was so helpful!
W friend I appreciate people like u actually exist 😭😭, can't explain how much this comment made me happy
I'm so glad I have found this video, because my friend has diabetes and I wanted to learn more about it, just in case ! Thanks for all you do!😍

QHBPMGAD womens diabetic shoes are professional designed for the diabetic patients. Soft and comfortable !
Afraid this left me little better prepared than I was beforehand; hope they're carrying a test kit & are coherent enough to tell me what to do!
Imagine someone having emergency and waiting 4min for she to talk to the end
Give your life to Christ today before it's too late!
Very clear-thank you!
Very helpful. You saved a soul
Well made and detailed video!
useful, thanks
Thank u
I always bring with me candy or sweet drink. One time I forgot to eat, I almost blacked out and seen some stars...but when I ate, I felt better. Thanks for the informative video. 😊
Great stuff

PLEASE TELL ME. WICH DOES THECNOLOGY DO YOU USE TO MAKE YOUR VIDEOS.
diabtes ke lye ap planet ayuveda ka dia finito herbal capsul v use kr sakte ho .
Just a question, ¿How do you diferenciate between HYPER and HYPO?
Thanks : )
Better to assume hypoglycemia, it's more dangerous in the short term
Plus any normal diabetic that's going about there day will usally have a blood testing monitor and since they are atleast responsive they can probably test them self to see whether or not to administer 30cc of jelly babies
@@lewiskidd9568 Thank you really much!
Hypoglycemia they feel weak dizzy could hardly speak like the have no strength that's what my sons feel when having a hypoglycemia episode
Give your life to Christ today before it's too late!
done
I'm taking a 1st aid course now my coworker passed out at work I thought he was right behind me leaving so I went home. He passed out the next shift found him 4 hours later he's fine but another hour... So I'm taking 1st aid.
How do you tell a diference between the two?
wow, glad you showed us how to eat candy, i would not have known
Wait so in both there would be tired and is abt to faint is it? ..then how can we know if it's hypo or hyper if there are no other clear signs?
About 4 weeks or so ago (give or take a few), I was told that I had type 2 diabetes, most likely insulin-resistant & that my blood glucose was up to "50" ... though I'm not entirely sure what that means, except that it was enough for the doctors to put me on a tablet that I've been taking since. What makes me nervous is that I've just heard one of my English relatives had a diabetic seizure of some kind & hers was ALSO at roughly 50 (but has since gone down to 20-something). There is a few differences between me & her, though. Being extremely obese (last time I saw her she was easily twice my size), she doesn't get out as much as I can & I believe she over-eats, just like her dad used to; whereas I only eat 1 meal a day. I don't feel any early warning signs, though (so I assume it only happens when you're as unhealthy as my cousin). At least I hope so; & hopefully the tablet brought my glucose levels down since they last tested me. I really don't want to be as ill as my cousin is... 😥
Rachel Hunter having a constant blood sugar of 20 will kill you. In short time As well, the good range is 4-8
Update?
I took Red Cross ist aid cpr last Saturday Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday no card I work security
I’m watching this and then seeing it if it right and sending it to my freinds incase I am weak and yk this happend to me a lot but mr gunstone who taught me how to give insulin and medical Caroline help me
My dad has this and he fall asllep one time in der the night and he had this low shuger and I was luky to hear him and i ran to him with some soft sugar drink and he was all wet and shaking so I caled the hospital Just in case it woud not get beter but AT the end IT was fine when they came but still he coud not speak or move and he coud not drik (all of his musles were tight so se coud not drink) ao he almost choked. Im Just scared all the time becose he can die if im not here for him 😢
this video is great, but it would have been better if at the start you explained the meaning of hyper/hypo ("hyper means to much, hypo means to little")
1:16 prepare to treat an unresponsive casualty? Do you mean CPR?
dont have glucagon integrated treatment please fix
Nothing ever tastes as good as when you're hypo!
Java C this is actually very true 😂
Some diabetics report that sugary stuff tastes gross when they are hypo.
@@RainbowManification I am diabetic (not overweight) and food is disgusting when im low. It's just that I have to eat to stay alive.
wish i was so i can eat alot of sweets :D haha
@@sarmadghafoor1484 yea thats not how it works xD
My 64 yrs old Diabetic brother was found on the bedroom floor unresponsive, I called 999 and the paramedic quickly arrived and discovered he was Hypothermic , Hyperglycaemic and Dehydrated, he was taken to a local hospital were he had a cardiac arrest and aspirated. He survived the cardiac arrest and was ventilated for 12 days and his condition stabilised before taken to a general ward then discharged home all while we are in lock down, He continues to abuse his blood sugar intake everyday despite all that has happened
To to a neighbour,but nurse, doctor, the first emergence help?
Times used to be very Challenging, i had the Worst days of my life living with Diabetes, I Appreciate you so much Dr Igho' You have restored me my life that was lost already.
So this how to get jelly babies from strangers cool thanks....
Give your life to Christ today before it's too late!
I what is the difference between palpitations and rapid pulse ?
im not really sure b
If the world had more people like you, it would be a better place. You make a difference, Dr Igudia thank you for curing my type 2 Diabetes and introducing your medical products to the worlds
QHBPMGAD womens diabetic shoes is professional shoes for diabetic patient ! It will be a good choice for them. Have a good day
I have diabetes 💛
What if they're not the flavour or brand that you prefer ?
Any sugary candy or small food (like cookies) can work! The goal is to quickly boost the low blood sugar levels to a safer level to reduce emergency. I hope this helps!
Soda juice honey anything sweet
@@tutorialesblanca9991 Thank you. I was just having a joke about Millennials being picky.
Being diabetic can really suck but a handful of jelly tots and a sandwich being one of my medications makes it a little better.
Thanks you Dr Igudia on RUclips for all you do in my life and my family. I went for a test today after taking the medication i ordered from Dr Igudia and I tested type 2 diabetes’s negative. Thanks doctor I will keep letting the world know about your good work sir.
If unresponsive and we don't know them, how do we know what it is.
Thank you for being the dedicated, thoughtful, and compassionate doctor that you are, you are more honest than I imagined, thank you so much Dr Igudia RUclips channel for curing my Type 2 diabetes, you are amazing
Funny how she doesn't go into the emergency injection if they go into a hypo coma
I presume it's due to every place having different rules/regulations on it as well as everyone may not have it available. I also think the worry of diabetic coma, cardiac arrest, respiratory distress, and/or total stop of breathing, and seizures is more of a worry since it can be a panic-inducing situation to come across. However, I could be wrong.
Can I volunteer to be this guy? :)
You wanna be a guy? A transgender?
fasial king hahaha!! No!🤣 My husband would flip! Just want candy 🤣
I’m sure if you showed him this video and asked him, your husband would be happy to roleplay this with you-candy included.
Trust me hypos are the worst 😅
Why should we call 112 immediately when the patient show signs of hyperglycemia emergency? Isn't there something that we can do before calling 112 just like hypoglycemia?
unfortunately, no. the best we can do is to monitor their signs and symptoms. treatment for moderate to severe diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) involves IV fluids, insulin, correcting electrolyte imbalances, and acid-base balance, as well as any other treatment needed e.g. if there's an infection. none of those can be given outside a hospital setting
Doctor you have always made me believe I will be back to full health and I am, thank you Dr Ogoh for restoring my health back to me.❤
Thank you Dr Osas for curing me from diabetes am forever grateful sir
God bless now and always Dr Igudia. And I really wanted to say a very big thanks for helping me cure my type 2 Diabetes I thought it was the end until I meant you keep saving lives doctor.
2:09 / 4:46
Times used to be very Challenging, I had the worst days of my life living with Type 2 diabetes, I appreciate you so much Dr Igudia, You have restored me my life that was lost already . Thank you so much for curing me of my diabetes with your natural Herbs 😊
???
I eat a whole meal when I’m low lol
Literally a pack of skittles is the same amount of sugar as 3 Jelly babies, and personally as a diabetic I would need more in hypoglycemic emergency, if you were saving my my a$$ would end up in the ER 😵💫
i want jelly babies
taking candy from strangers?
why on earth would anybody suspect hypoglycemia after looking at those very general symptoms??? and you tell EMS that you 'suspect'?? NOOOO. It could be anything!!
What should I do when the person fails to eat those jellybean
Call the ambulance.
You have my maximum respect Dr Igudia, I am now negative from my type 2 Diabetes after I did the test, I wonder what might have become of me it I didn't get the herbal cure From your RUclips channel. God bless you sir.
Testifying about Dr Igudia on RUclips is a great joy I have ever had in a while because this man transformed my life In all ramification. Thanks doctor for putting an end to my Diabetes and putting a smile on my face again
Orange juice!!
now negative from type 2 Diabetes after did a Test , it was like a miracle , i really can't thank you enough Dr Igudia , You cured me naturally after I came across your channel on RUclips , with your herbs , May God bless you Handsomely
3 for you...packet for me...
Thank you for never letting me down doc.
being recommended to doctor Igudia on RUclips has being a great blessing to my family his cure for Diabetes is a genuine one thanks for your good deed toward humanity.
So chocolate wouldn’t help if there struggling
It can if it's quite sugary and the person has low blood sugar. So if it's all you have, it's better than nothing. Otherwise, you want something sugar-packed to quickly boost the levels to reduce the emergency. Hope this helps!
This has been a challenging time, and I appreciate you so much Dr Igudia, you have created a life that I thought was lost, thank you so much for curing my type 2 diabetes
0:21 in your video you say HYPOGLYCAEMIA is when sugar is high... HYPO is LOW
0:35 yet again you say HYPO and on the right side symptoms its written HYPER
01:02 yet again you say HYPO where on the right side of the video it stands HYPER
just wanted to let you guys know
clean your ears. shes saying hyper for hyper and hypo for hypo.
😷😂
Ears always kept clean, understand it very well what she is saying, to me it sounds that way, what about your ears 🤔
@@bozjanm2524 then get your hearing checked. cz u might be slightly deaf. dont worry bout my ears, i heard what she said completely fine
TheGU1T4RFR3AK did you understand it as well ? 😂
call 999/112
Don’t go to CVS and tell them you are having a diabetic energy! I did and they would not help me, would not even call an ambulance for me. Could have helped ; didn’t. I later found out that if they called an ambulance they would have to pay for it.
Huh? You were hypo and went to CVS for help? This doesn’t make any sense. Call an ambulance.
Emergency jelly babies
LMAO-
but we don't have jelly babies in the country...
Just let me die , this world is not for me .I can't take the stupidity of people anymore .
