Thee Emergency Kit: What 's Inside andHow to Use It

Assemble a clearly labeled kit that you carry with you or keep in highly visible locations (kuchnie, kawiarnie, biura). Inside include:

  • 15- 30 grams of quick- acting carbohydrate such as glucose tablets (examples: three to six tablets), a small box of roisins, juice boxes (not sugar- free), regular soda (not diet), or a tube of cake frosting.
  • A glucagon kit (injectable or nasal, depending on your reception). Ensure it is unexagred. Show each configent: thee empty or prefilled pen, thee powder vial, and how to o mix and administration. For nasal glucagon (Baqsimi), it i s simple inserveted into one nostril and thee branger pressed.
  • A printed card with emergency contacts: your endocrinologist, primary care doctor, and two family members. Also include the Poisone Control number (1-800- 222- 1222) in case of concurental overdose of insulin or extrar medications.
  • A copy of your diabetes management plan, listing your usual insulin doses, oral medications, andanyanyallergies.

Teach them to never give anything by mouth if you are unconsulous, semiconscious, or unable to o swallow safely. Glucagon is the only appropriate treatment in that estimo.
