General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Dear thanks for the question.

I share your concerns. If I were your family physician I would have started with preventive aspects of low sugar levels. Never give long breaks between two meals(not more than 6 hours). Low sugar presents with nausea, vomiting and fainting (may lead to unconscious too) if not identified. You can ask questions like time since food taken, quantity taken, items in food etc.

However in spite of precautions if low sugar level happens person need to be given sweet foods like chocolate, biscuits and glucose water. In case of fainting and unconscious immediately start intravenous fluids (25% glucose solution) with rapid infusion. You ask your brother in law to keep a card in his pocket mentioning his disease profile so that any one can attend him if you are not around.

I hope I have clarified your queries. Do write for follow up questions. Please rate my reply. I wish your brother in law a healthy living. Thank you.
