Many a times it so happens that you get a low blood sugar right in the middle of a lecture and with your friends around, you might think a million times before you take any action against it.
You might think that if I ate something for my low blood sugar in front of my friends, I might be the centre of attention and might even be laughed at.
Well, I’d say that being laughed at is any day better than getting your brain affected. Did you know that everytime you get a low sugar, it affects your brain?
Because, lack of glucose in the blood due to a low blood sugar causes loss of concentration, dizziness, confusion and if ignored can lead to coma.
How to handle the situation
- Let your class teacher know about your condition (and subsequently the other teachers). Just let the teacher know that such emergencies rarely occur but they need to know what to do just as a precautionary measure.
- Keep your physical fitness instructor informed about your condition so that he does not overdo it with the exercise part.
- Let some of your close friends know about your health problems and tell them what diabetes symptoms to look out for and how to handle in an emergency.
After you do this, you are ready to eat that snack of yours in the middle of the class during a low sugar without worrying about your friends’ reaction.
