🔍 Key Concepts

• Insulin reaction (hypoglycemia) usually means blood sugar is too low, not too high • The fastest way to raise blood sugar in a conscious person is with simple sugars that are quickly absorbed • Why some foods/drinks work more slowly: fat and protein slow sugar absorption

💭 Think About

• Is an insulin reaction more likely to be caused by too much insulin or too little insulin? What does that do to blood sugar? • Which choice contains simple sugar that the body can use quickly, rather than complex carbohydrates or mostly protein/fat? • If the person is conscious and can swallow, which option would most rapidly correct low blood sugar?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm that insulin reaction in diabetics usually means low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) • Identify which options are mainly sugar vs. mainly starch, protein, or fat • Eliminate any options that would work slowly or do not provide significant sugar to reverse hypoglycemia
