Why Everyone Needs an Emergency Plan
Diabetes emergencies can happen without warning - at work, school, or in public. A clear, physical action card ensures that anyone nearby can help correctly, even if they know nothing about diabetes.
- First responders and bystanders can act immediately without needing to find information
- Schools and workplaces can follow your exact protocol rather than guessing
- Reduces risk of well-intentioned but incorrect emergency responses
- Provides peace of mind for both the person with diabetes and their support network
When to Call Emergency Services
- Person is unconscious or unresponsive - call 911 / 999 / local emergency number immediately
- Seizure activity that doesn't stop within 5 minutes
- Blood glucose above 300 mg/dL with symptoms of DKA (vomiting, deep breathing, fruity breath)
- Glucagon has been given but person is not improving after 15 minutes
