Can't get yourself to a hospital if you're unconscious!

As a diabetic, this question was easy. My life literally hangs on the balance of me knowing this question, lol.

Type 1 diabetic, both obviously dangerous, but hypoglycemia is more life threatening faster then hyperglycemia from what I experience anyways

Hypoglycemia is like starting a main story mission. It becomes your only goal, all side quests are locked until you complete the main quest. hyperglycemia just feels like a status debuff

Hyperglycemia is terrifying, as a t1d. The only time in my life I thought I'd die was during one. I couldn't breathe properly, I vomited anything I ate or drank, couldn't walk, could barely talk, I couldn't sleep because my throat would hurt anytime I tried to swallow, since it was so dry. I'd hear my heart pump like crazy, genuinely it was so fast. I knew my heart wouldn't last if I didn't get to the er, and the one closer to my home wouldn't admit me. My mom drove me in the middle on the night, and thanks to her I'm still alive

Lost me grandpops to hypoglycemia a decade ago. He'd been suffering from diabeetus for most of his life and this was the knockout punch. Rest in peace, old lad. Still miss ya.

Type II diabetic here, so yeah, I knew the answer immediately. Fortunately, I'm well in-tune with my body when my sugar's crashing (also when it's elevated). After I recover back to normal levels, I often feel tired and just want to sleep for a bit.

I worked this one out with the logic "Well, sugar's used for signals and having too much signal is better than none at all"

When I worked in ICU, we gave D50 (50% dextrose) intravenously to patients hypoglycemic and unconscious, then call the doctor for the order to cover our life saving actions.

I lost a friend to T2D when she went hypoglycemic in her sleep. People can continue to function surprisingly well, at least in the short term, when experiencing hyperglycemia.

When my son was two, he had severe hypoglycemia. When the primary care doctor first saw him, she suspected brain damage, epilepsy or other nightmares. She called 911 immediately upon entering the room. They literally cleared out the ER (where we are now) to work on him. They discovered his blood sugar was down to 20. With an IV he was pretty much good as new. They put him in the pediatric ICU anyway, where he became the only patient there to get a time out. That was back in 2008, and he's been just fine ever since.

There was a case here in Australia where a truck driver had extra insulin because he was "going on the beers" when he went home, had a hypoglycemic episode and plowed through a rest stop killing a young girl. Wasn't found guilty.

For most people, ONE jolly rancher could mean the difference of life or death. Jolly Ranchers (and other blood sugar candy, like simple Glucose tabs) are a must for first aid kits.

I figured this out easily. I have seen how bad things can get with my own two eyes almost every day.
