| Thanks for your help. The passing out episode just happened last night, but I was planning on asking him to show me how to use his meter tonight and making a plan with him. He is not on medication, his doctor told him that if he is just careful with his diet, has regular check-ups, and monitors himself closely he will be fine for now. I know before when he passed out he just ate something and then was fine. I was scared last night because I wasn't sure exactly what I could give him to eat that would be most effective. I want to definitely start carrying things in my purse in case. He was not difficult during the episode, he passed out for around two minutes, then woke up and was able to talk some but was still very out of it. We were driving but were very close to his house, and as soon as we got him in the house I was scrounging for food. I had heard a sandwich was good for him, but all I could find was bread. He was with it enough to say that bread would help a little, and I gave him some nuts to go with it (again... living on his own his cupboards were very bare). He was very compliant during the episode, and alert enough to know what was going on and that he needed food, although not with it enough to say what kind he needed. I read somewhere today that lifesavers were good in that situation. Is that true? Again, thanks for your help and advice.  |
