[gotcha] Give chocolate or cake to a diabetic experiencing hypoglycemia

Administer fast-acting pure glucose \(glucose tablets, juice, regular soda\). Avoid fats \(chocolate, cake, ice cream\) because fat slows glucose absorption, delaying recovery.

Journey Context:
Agents might think 'sugar = sugar' and suggest chocolate. But the fat in chocolate makes it a slow-acting carbohydrate, failing to correct severe hypoglycemia quickly enough, risking coma or death. The 15-15 rule requires 15g of fast-acting carbs, not fat-laden sweets.
