Re: Hypo
by Dan
I've only taken 2 Hypos in to hosp. 1 was a bloke who knew he was diabetic but had never had an attack, after Glucagon he was so scared that he insisted he be taken in as we were obviously wrong and he wanted a doctor to see him and explain this "mystery" illness. Doc said the same thing as us 4 hours after he got there!! 2nd was for a young lady who was on the cusp of unconsciousness but still aware. She could just about take Hypostop but vomitted it up but was still too conscious to give Glucagon. A&E let her go waaaaaaay down, gave her Glucagon and then when she came round did the usual milk and jam. Wish we'd been able to do it. BTW, Glucagon is an EMT protocol in some areas but not all.
