If a diabetic is unconscious, do NOT give them insulin.

[–]Iatros 20 points21 points ago

Upvote for truth. Diabetics, when woozy/unconscious, are often that way because they've taken too much insulin and are having an episode of acute hypoglycemia. They should be given something with carbohydrates if they can take something by mouth, or a shot of glucogon (which most insulin-dependent diabetics carry with them).

The More You Know.

[–]medic318 2 points3 points ago

And if they are unconscious call for help. Glucagon takes awhile whereas EMS can start an IV and give them Dextrose and have them up in 30 seconds. Not to mention that diabetics sometimes have other things go wrong with them. Saw a guy once who was ashen and clammy and having a cardiac issue but he was a diabetic so his family just kept trying to get his sugar to come up because thats what has always been wrong in the past. They didn't connect that his "heart burn" was legitimate chest pain. People are not smart sometimes. Ok rant terminated.

[–]Iatros 1 point2 points ago

Well obviously. I didn't realize that I had to spell out the fact that if you find anyone unconscious that you should call EMS. Sorry for being unclear! EMS guys and gals are rockstar professionals at managing all kinds of acute issues. When in doubt, call 911.

Also, we physicians are well aware that diabetics present quite differently when they have cardiac issues. Or, for that matter, when they have other sequelae of their diabetes. I've seen patients with rip-roaring gangrenous ulcers that they can't even feel it because their neuropathy is so severe. That's why ALL diabetics should have close follow-up with their PCP, opthamologist, and podiatrist.

[–]medic318 2 points3 points ago

Ha if you're a doc you should know by now people are dumb and need stuff spelled out! I kid (kinda).

[–]OmegaVesko 1 point2 points ago

..Did that image just load upside-down?

[–]sumoshart 1 point2 points ago

I don't know, but my stomach sure did!

[–]WisconsnNymphomaniac 0 points1 point ago

Wow, a Google Image Search for gangrenous ulcers is very productive.

[–]krugmanisapuppet 0 points1 point ago

diabetics also generally carry glucometers:

in case you're trying to figure out what to do, in the absence of anyone who knows better. TMYK...

[–]Demoorelizer 2 points3 points ago

As a type 1 diabetic I came here to say this. The stupidity of the entire thing ruins any funny part of it.

[–]CarlGel 1 point2 points ago

I myself am also a type one. What if someone is unconscious due to unbelievably high blood sugar? That's possible as well, but much less likely.

[–]Demoorelizer 1 point2 points ago

This is true. Like you said however it is much less likely. Regardless I still don't find the comic funny, not because I am offended or anything, it's just sub-par humor to me.

[–]CarlGel 1 point2 points ago

I don't find it funny either. I find it sub-par too...

[–]Trevoc555 27 points28 points ago

I'm hilarious and I find this diabetic.

[–]PhatZounds 5 points6 points ago

Possibly lysdexic as well.

[–]Herpaderperper 9 points10 points ago

The facial expression in the last frame is priceless

[–]turboknight 4 points5 points ago

Anyone got a link to the source of this comic?

[–]SAIUN666 2 points3 points ago

[–]OnlyAMuffin 5 points6 points ago

The funniest thing that happened in my life is when my ex's parents caught me sniffing her underwear. It was also funny because she was wearing then. Everyone was watching too. That made the rest of her funeral right awkward. Sigh..

[–]Slurms 2 points3 points ago

Came here to say this.

[–]cuddlep00p 1 point2 points ago

Came to you saying this.

[–]iGilmer 0 points1 point ago

Ctrl+F did not disappoint! ~le upboat~

[–]deathseekertrickster 1 point2 points ago

I find it more disturbing that he walked in there very cheery in the first place.

[–]vinyldubstep 1 point2 points ago

Im Diabetic, and I find this fucking hilarious.
