Det anbefales derfor, at diabetespatienterne bærer nogle sukkerknalder, slik, småkager eller sukkerholdig frugtjuice på sig. • Svær hypoglykæmi, hvor patienten er blevet bevidstløs, kan behandles med glucagon (0, 5- 1 mg) indgivet intramuskulært eller subkutant af en instrueret person eller med glucose indgivet intravenøst af en medicinsk uddannet person.
