Question

Because it is difficult to tell the difference between hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia, always give sugar in a diabetic emergency unless you have proof from a blood glucose test that the blood sugar is high.
True
False

Answer 1

The answer is definitely false.

Answer 2

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Hypoglycemia means a low level of blood glucose. Hyperglycemia means a high blood glucose level, which is a key indicator of diabetes. Both hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia can cause crests where a person is sick and may even faint. These seizures can happen at any time and when they happen you should give some sugar when the person has hypoglycemia, or take it immediately to the hospital when the person has hypoglycemia.

However, because of similar symptoms, it is sometimes difficult to know if an individual is experiencing a crisis of hypoglycaemia or hypoglycaemia. In this case, you should not give the person sugar at all, as this would be fatal for those with hyperglycemia. The correct would be to take the individual immediately or hospital or call the emergency.
