​understanding diabetes

First-aid providers have important choices to make before providing care to a person with diabetes. The best way to effectively manage an emergency that involves a person with diabetes is through understanding the mechanisms behind the medical condition.
Every cell in the body requires glucose as a foundation of energy. People with diabetes, though needing glucose, have an inability to process, or metabolize, it efficiently because the pancreas is either producing too little insulin or none at all—either way, glucose can accumulate to dangerously high levels. A healthy pancreas regulates the production of insulin proportionate to the amount of glucose in the blood.

classification of diabetes

Type 1 diabetes is primarily an autoimmune condition manifesting in children and young adults. These people do not produce insulin; they require routine injections of insulin to aid in glucose metabolism. Without insulin injections a person with type 1 diabetes cannot use the sugar in their blood for energy.

People with type 2 diabetes produce small amounts of insulin, or they cannot properly use the insulin hormone, also known as insulin resistance. This condition usually develops later in life. Many people with type 2 diabetes use diet, exercise, and other non-insulin medications. Some people with type 2 diabetes however, may require supplemental insulin.

​what is a diabetic emergency?

With 6 million people using insulin in the United States, the incidence of too much or too little insulin is a common life-threatening occurrence.
  • Too much insulin causes low blood glucose, hypoglycemia.
  • Insufficient insulin causes blood glucose to become too high, hyperglycemia.
Reviewing signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia versus hyperglycemia helps remove the challenge of determining if a person’s blood sugar is too low or too high.

hypoglycemia

Hypoglycemia occurs more rapidly than a hyperglycemic emergency (blood glucose levels below 70 mg/dL or 3.9 mmol/L). When the brain is starved of vital glucose, unconsciousness follows, then possibly death. The American Diabetes Association reports 107,000 more hypoglycemic emergencies were seen in 2011 compared to hyperglycemic crises.
Reasons for Hypoglycemia:
  • Too much of their medication

​hyperglycemia

Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) is a severe condition typically resulting from hyperglycemia (rising blood glucose over 130 mg/dL or 7.2 mmol/L). Many experts advise to check for ketones in the urine when the blood glucose is more than 240 mg/dl or 13.3 mmol/L. If untreated, it can lead to a coma or death.
In DKA, the body shifts to using fat as fuel, such as in a fasting state, from its normal fed metabolism. When glucose isn’t available, the body breaks down fat to use for energy, which produces ketones. This happens when the body doesn’t have enough insulin to make glucose available to the cells for energy.
Reasons for increased quantities of ketones:
  • Not enough insulin or not taking insulin correctly
  • Illness, such as dehydration, vomiting, infection, or high fever
  • Certain medications, such as steroids
DKA commonly develops slowly; however, when vomiting occurs, this life-threatening condition can develop within a few hours.
Warning Signs and Symptoms:
  • Very dry mouth
  • Thirst
  • Frequent urination
  • Increased blood glucose
  • High ketones in the urine
Progressive Signs and Symptoms:
  • Dry or flushed skin
  • Fatigue
  • Abdominal pain
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Difficulty breathing
  • Fruity odor on breath
  • Confusion

​recognition & taking action

Knowing if a person has diabetes is crucial when providing first-aid. Often, individuals with diabetes wear or carry an I.D., such as a bracelet, to alert first-aid providers of their condition. Also, a person with diabetes may have a readily available sugar source, such as glucose gel or tablets.
A simple deduction process will almost certainly reveal a corrective action plan for first-aid. If the person is conscious ask:
  • Have you eaten recently, if so what?
  • Have you been active?
  • When was your last dose of insulin?
  • Have taken any medications today?
  • Do you have a new medication?
  • Do you have a glucometer? If so, assist a conscious and compliant person with checking their blood glucose.
If someone has eaten and not taken their medication, hyperglycemia is likely the case.
Someone who has not eaten but took their medication may have hypoglycemia.
Hypoglycemia is more prevalent than hyperglycemia. The body burns energy constantly; theoretically, people are more susceptible to hypoglycemia. Individuals not yet diagnosed with diabetes are more prone to develop hyperglycemia, as they do not have a glucometer or the medication for treatment.

​hypogylcemia

The prognosis of hypoglycemia depends on the cause, severity, and duration. The prognosis is excellent if identified and treated early. If left untreated, hypoglycemia leads to seizures or unconsciousness.
If a person is conscious, give simple sugars. Do not give an unconscious person food, fluids, or put your hands in their mouth.
Steps to follow for a conscious person exhibiting hypoglycemia:
  • Do not give insulin; their blood glucose will lower even more
  • Give 15–20 grams of simple carbohydrates, sugar, or glucose
  • If possible, check blood glucose after 15 minutes
  • Repeat if blood glucose is less than 70 mg/dL
  • Once blood glucose is normal, have them eat a small snack
Examples of 15 grams of simple sugar:
  • Glucose gel or tablets (see package)
  • 1 tablespoon cane sugar or honey
  • 2 tablespoons of raisins
  • Hard candy, sugared gum, or jellybeans (see package)
  • 1/2 cup, or 4 ounces, of juice or a non-diet soda
Some people may have a glucagon kit prescribed by their provider for hypoglycemic emergencies. Glucagon is a hormone that provokes the liver to release stored glucose into the bloodstream when blood glucose levels are too low. If glucagon is needed, follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

hyperglycemia

The first-aid treatment for DKA and HHS is simple—the patient needs urgent medical assistance.
In any emergency, it’s important to respond quickly. A clear emergency action plan is a good way to simplify your responses.
  1. Stay calm
  2. Assess the person and scene
  3. Notify emergency services if a person is unconscious or unresponsive
  4. Follow standard first-aid procedure—if unresponsive, check circulation, airway, and breathing (C-A-B).
  5. If a person is unconscious, breathing, and has no other life-threatening conditions, place them in a recovery position.
  6. If unconscious and displays life-threatening conditions place in a supine position, horizontally on their back, on a flat surface and administer CPR.
