[gotcha] What to do if a diabetic person is unconscious from low blood sugar?

Never give oral food or fluids to an unconscious person. Administer emergency glucagon if available, or rub glucose gel/honey on the inside of the cheeks/gums, and call emergency services immediately.

Journey Context:
The intuitive response to 'low blood sugar' is 'give them juice or sugar.' If the agent doesn't triage consciousness first, it will recommend oral intake, which is an aspiration/choking hazard in an unconscious patient. The NHS guidelines strictly separate conscious \(oral fast-acting carbs\) vs unconscious \(glucagon/buccal gel/emergency\) protocols.
