By all means, do not give him anything by mouth if he is unconscious or unable to maintain his own airway though!
I read you can use a tube of cake icing if they’re unconscious in their mouth/gums to be absorbed through the skin. That way they won’t choke on it.AmbuBadger said:

Guy in my Sunday School class carries his diabetic supplies in a small Otterbox. They are bulletproof, waterproof, and you pick the size and color that suits you.

My dad is diabetic and I have a very extensive FAK. I usually have a Tester, Extra Strips, Glucose Tablets, and usually some sort of powdered drink (high sugar) incase they’re KO’d I can mix with water and pour it slowly. Everyone’s different, my friend accually has a mini fridge in his car with insulin bottles and pins.
Maybe a couple packets of honey or those 15g glucose tubes in case he takes too much insulin or doesn’t eat a meal in time. By all means, do not give him anything by mouth if he is unconscious or unable to maintain his own airway though! Good luck.
My nephew was recently diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes over the weekend. So far we know he will be required to take shots and will eventually get a pump. Outside of that, we are learning or will be learning. With that said…
Does anyone edc anything in the FAK to assist in a diabetic situation? My nephew is just getting involved with scouting in my troop. I want to be prepared as much as I can should something arise.
I’m not a physician, so I really don’t know what the “official” standard procedures are.
But for anything that doesn’t require a trip to the ER, the standard thing would be cleaning and/or disinfecting the wound (for example with something like Betadine) and bandaging it. That’s it, really. If it gets infected, you go to the doctor, and they take it from there.
I know from experience that for many (if not most) skin-breaching wounds, the ER will normally give the patient a tetanus-shot (provided you haven’t had one in the last few years).
