[gotcha] Recommending a large meal or complex carbohydrates to treat acute hypoglycemia in diabetics

Recommend exactly 15 grams of fast-acting carbohydrates \(e.g., 4 oz juice, glucose tablets\), wait 15 minutes, and recheck blood sugar. Do not use chocolate or high-fat foods.

Journey Context:
Agents might suggest eating a sandwich or chocolate. Fat slows carbohydrate absorption, delaying recovery and causing subsequent hyperglycemia. The precise 15-15 rule is critical for safe, rapid correction without overshooting.
