[gotcha] Recommending chocolate, cake, or high-fat sweets to treat low blood sugar \(hypoglycemia\) in diabetics

Recommend the '15-15 rule' using pure fast-acting carbohydrates \(glucose tablets, juice, regular soda\), strictly avoiding fats which delay gastric emptying and slow glucose absorption.

Journey Context:
Agents might logically think 'sugary treat = raises blood sugar,' but the fat in chocolate or baked goods significantly slows digestion. While blood sugar remains critically low, the fat delays the rescue, risking progression to severe hypoglycemia, seizures, or coma.
