As a diabetic, i’ve never needed to use a glucagon. However, from experience of very low lows, that throw is IMPRESSIVE. I can barely lift my water bottle when i’m regularly low lol
i’m t1 and also never used a glucose pen, when i’m under 40 blood sugar my whole body shakes and i get disoriented and dizzy, no idea how people could be functioning at those levels
We had a diabetic former Nam vet as our Woodshop teacher. When his blood sugar got out of whack he'd turn into a completely different person. The things he would say in those fugue states made me think a part of him never left Vietnam.
You're probably right in that regard; war is one hell of a traumatizing experience, and vets in America aren't taken care of whatsoever. My heart goes out to him

My mum used to work nights at a 'mental home'. One night she had to go through one of the wards as the nursing station was at the far end. A male patient, naked mind you, got out of bed and asked my mum for a dance. She told him 'one dance and then you go back to bed'. He agreed and they waltzed up and down the ward for a couple of minutes. Then he went quietly back to bed. When my mum got to the nursing station the Matron asked what happened, mum explained and was told if she had said no he would have promptly lost his temper and could have attacked her.
@rock2946 I have type one diabetes. You're absolutely correct. I was referring to the unrelated comment about the hospital patient potentially losing his temper due to his mental illness, not hypoglycemia.
@@johntuel2375 there's a period between that reaction of slowing me down and nearly passing out eventually and my blood sugar going low where I become very irrational and cranky and my physical strength is definitively not effected. My co-workers sometimes even ask me if I've eaten recently when I start doing too much work and look sour lmao
My brother is type 1 diabetic and when he had an episode while we were younger, and I totally witnessed him successfully fighting off 4 firefighters while he was low in his bed. They eventually just wrapped his own blanket around him and stuck him on the stretcher that way. He had no idea this happened and felt awful when he found out.
Oh dear God that is an absolute EMS flashback for me. The Medics calling us for more "big strong men" because the patient was the upper end of six foot something, ripped and worked as a prison guard. His wife told us he "gets a little aggressive when he comes out of this"...
Oh, that "Hey Jimmy" was perfect! I have heard that tone a few times and used it myself - there is a somewhat indescribable mix of "everything's going to be cool, ok man", familiarity, mild internal dread, and some sort of perverse minor affection for this frequent problem.
@@jennh2096 Actually the brain can also function quite well using ketones as fuel. It's not a seamless switch though as it takes time from glucose depletion to the start of ketone production.

Only saw the paramedics once, screwed up my insulin and was having a seizure, my fiance at the time called them. By the time they arrived i was doing better. They were really chill and patient. Just made sure i was ok, gave me some sugar, said they hadn't had to see me before so i probably controlled it better than most, and when I was obviously going to be fine let us know there was no charge as they hadn't had to do anything really and left. Good people.
The best part of this story was the no charge bit, that part touched me. I’m glad nobody died, but I can’t imagine how much worse off we would all be if you called for help, ended up not needing it, but got charged for it anyway.
@@Cravenfester crazy to be heartwarmed by something most of us consider a human right to get. Its incomprehensible for me to imagine needing to worry if I can afford to not die because of a medical complication.

I love that! I am an CNA and I hate it when people are rude to patients especially scolding people with dementia. Once a woman thanked me for not scolding her cause another nurse was doing this regular to her, even though she never did the things on porpoise…
@@larafranke1802that breaks my heart. My dad had severe dementia and while most of the nurses loved him (he was a sweet, non-combative patient), I know there was at least one who didn’t care how she treated him.
It’s really refreshing. One of my loved ones is going through an illness which gives her emotional lability and a loss of social filters; seeing how some doctors will write her off because of it is incredibly frustrating. Or they’ll just assume it’s a mental/functional issue, which it isn’t
As a former EMT-Paramedic and presently retired RN I am appalled by Healthcare providers especially Nurses mocking patients in videos. Especially on TikTok. I am retired due to injury. It's extremely hurtful as a patient.
My buddy’s son is 6’9” and a good 350lbs, think Kevin Nash but around 30. He’s diabetic and if his blood sugar drops he gets like this. Complete black out, won’t remember anything and damn near impossible to pin down.
Jesus good on you for helping enough to know he's near impossible to pin down in that situation. 6"9 350lb giant wouldn't be my first pick to pin down and force sugar into.
@@violetskies14 oh I’ve never had to thank GodLOL His dad was telling me, luckily his dads a Marine that’s also built like a brick shithouse. He’s insulin dependent so he has the pump and the alarm that goes off when he gets low but if he ignores it then everyone’s day goes to shit in a hurry

We become unstoppable Had an embarrassing moment when my sugar regulated again and my parents telling me I almost fought the body builder paramedic who was just trying to get vitals 😅
I did not know this! Me, I think of low blood sugar as making me lethargic. Cops have shot people for 'not taking meds' according to articles I read. They never mention that it might be diabetes and I wonder why this isn't made common knowledge among emergency workers.
This is very true. We used to have ti deal with a young very fit, muscular male who would not watch his levels adequately. When we got the call, it was a real struggle to keep him physically stable while getting some sugar in him. Some mornings it took 4 or 5 guys to hold him still.
@@labbuiltmack920 I don’t lose any strength when I’m low, but I don’t get any stronger. I’m much more likely to push someone ever though lol. I’m definitely weaker when I’ve got high sugar though, and all my muscles cramp
@Luiginotcool it always felt to me like I don't have as refined control when I'm low. So me telling my arm to move forward and grab something, I might just slap what I was gonna grab haha
@@labbuiltmack920 From personal experience, it's kind of like fight-or-flight response. The brain relies solely on glucose for energy, so when your blood sugar drops it isn't able to work as effectively and falls back on more (for lack of a better word) primitive behaviour. Bye bye rational thinking, hello moodswings and aggression. Never actually taken a swing at anyone when I had a hypo, thankfully. Just lost my temper really easily.
...is that what that is? I've Joked about being diabetic, having felt like this when I haven't eaten well, but I figured it was just jokes but it does sound like I have a blood glucose issue then...
When my dad’s sugar was low he would do all kinds of things, throw punches, bite, kick and curse. This short is so validating, I always thought it was just how dad was. After reading the comments its good to know that other diabetics have similar behaviors when they are low and that we weren’t alone. When dad would come to he would be like ‘whoa my sugar must have been low’ smh 🤦🏻♀️. thank you for the validation ❤
It is amazing what few chemicals in your system when just processed wrong can totally take full control away from a person. We run into this constantly with addiction medicine. I would absolutely bet my life that other conditions can have similar effects. Good bless you and your family! You are definitely not crazy!
It’s honestly terrifying when you find out the kind of things you can go through, like dementia and memory loss and all that weird stuff. Like our minds can play tricks on ourselves. And different chemicals just help what can already happen. Usually as we get older. Like if we can end up making our bodies live longer eventually we’ll run into the problem of our minds going bad. 😅
Man I just wanna say, your face is well fit for acting. You can be a paramedic, a caring dad, an aggresive patient, a crazy patient, or a child. Amazing work.
@@Tetsujinhanmaa and here I was with my hopes up, cause another fellow bald man, who does army skits, uses that word too & I thought I caught a reference... :(
My dad is diabetic and lucky for us, when his sugar drops, he just turns into a 7 year old. It's pretty easy to convince a 7 year old to cooperate as long as you give them candy first lol
Ah, I've met Jimmy. Daughter came in with her dad, who was really, really angry that EMS had taken him out of his car, which he was driving erratically. He (combatively and confrontationally) absolutely denied anything was wrong with him, in coherent, grammatically correct English, making perfect sense, and threatening me with all sorts of mayhem, not to mention legal action, if I didn't let him just leave; daughter says "This is how he gets when his sugar is low". Called his wife; she said the same. Ended up restraining him; checked his sugar, which was in fact low; gave him D50, and suddenly he's the nicest guy, whose first question was "Oh, God. What did I do?" (We told him he hadn't done anything; I felt bad for him). He knew how he got when he was hypoglycemic. Once his sugar was back up, he was a perfect gentleman.
One of my worst memories is having paramedics called for low blood sugar and for how I acted towards them (low blood sugar makes you so unlike yourself) and this made me feel a little bit better about it thanks
Honest question: Did you have to pay for the bill? How much was it? I don't care if I'm bleeding, dying in the streets. Do NOT call an ambulance. If I survive I'm not going to be able to afford it.
@@tauberkuppler it's like $600, they send you a bill in the mail, and you don't have to pay it. They never take anyone to small claims court and the debt is forgiven after seven years. Also you can haggle with the billing department to lower the price, because normally that's what the insurance companies do on your behalf. It may mess with your credit score, but chances are you probably don't care about that if you don't plan on paying. Also they can't garnish your wages if you don't pay, because it's a debt that can be forgiven.
I’ve seen my grandma get the glucose too many times. She would go into such lows that she would just go to sleep and wouldn’t wake up. She was soaking wet and totally unresponsive. It got to the point that the EMTs would just bring it in with them. When she would come back around she said she could hear us trying to wake her and she thought she was answering us the whole time. The first time she said she was mad we called an ambulance, CANT YOU SEE IM FINE?!?! Sugar lows are no damn joke.
YEA IK ME AND MY MOM BOTH DIABETIC AND THOSE LOWS...YOU ARGUE ALOT DURING THEM sry for caps didnt see the key was on. anyway also that sleeping could become a coma if left unchecked
Used to work as a CNA. Watched a new nurse get thrown across a room like a ragdoll by our 80 yr old dementia patient. Tried to warn the dude but no. Mr. Hot Shot had to try and got his entire ass roasted and handed to him by great gramma
I’ve been working as security in a hospital Emergency Department for three years. I’ve developed the philosophy of: “Just because you’re educated doesn’t mean you’re intelligent.” Have seen new nurses and techs get absolutely rocked by a psych patient that was a regular and ignored advice from some of us seasoned “peasants” 🤦🏽♂️🤣🙄
@@glitchout_303 Considering the effect is a type of hysterical strength, the kind of thing that could happen when a soldier snaps mentally, absolutely. It's what causes a 60 year old grandma to be able to lift a car to save her grandchildren. That's not a joke, there are news articles (and granted they're taking advantage of levering). The Fight response of FFF is far more effective than any combat drug humanity has ever made to date. Also, same, had a wheelchair bound sub-80 pound great grandmother rip a fire extinguisher enclosure (not the extinguisher itself, the 'in case of fire break glass' enclosure) out of a cast concrete wall, mounting hardware and all, and peg me with the damn thing from nearly fifteen feet away (about five meters). I had been trying to get another resident away from here and ended up on my ass with three broken ribs and a fractured legs (they were probably unrelated to the incident, but still work related so they tied them in). 5 months totally off, three months weightbearing only, and three months of light duty awaited (why yes, my sanity is questionable after these events).
I guess when you lose control of your max strength it can rip the muscles apart or cause some other damage to the movement related bodyparts. And that's why we can't achieve this powers while being completely sane. Like a power cap to protect ourself.
I’ll never forget, I had a guy that I treated multiple times for low sugar levels. One time I treated him and he was like, “I’m freaking out, I don’t feel right” all the classic signs. His sugar was a 36! I couldn’t believe he was still conscious and speaking!
Dude my dad is the same! He goes so low the machine won't even read it sometimes and all it does is make him sluggish and unable to speak it's so bizarre. At least he's still all there though unless he siezes, helps us work with emts better
It will soon be a year since I was diagnosed with diabetes. I remember my second day in hospital. Nobody was in the room with me, all the nurses were busy and I wasn't feeling well. It was one of my first hypoglycaemic episodes and I knew something was wrong, so instead of calling someone with an alarm button, I had a brilliant idea - I would go and ask for help. I don't think I need to say how stupid of an idea that was, but luckily I did. I will never forget the reaction of the lady who measured my sugar when my meter showed the result .... 29mg/dL!
@@M_SC It's not that they hate treatment. The brain relies on sugar to process rational thoughts. When your sugar is low you literally can't think straight, so your brain registers anyone that gets close to you as a threat you need to fight off.
@@M_SC without fuel (sugar) the brain doesn't function correctly and fight-or-flight ensues. Some get violent, some try to hide, and some lay there like a dead fish. Fight, flight, freeze.
@@M_SC it isn't that they hate it. The body is in distress, and thus goes into 'Fight or Flight' mode, and because they are in a state of vulnerablity, their instincts view any and all contact as dangerous, thus 'defending themselves'.
I got to witness a caregiver with an extremely low blood sugar once, lady was in her late fifties, maybe 5 ft 5. We called the paramedics, and by the time we got there, she was starting to get belligerent and a little bit violent, so they had to hold her down to administer the glucagon. Despite being a little old lady, it took three paramedics to hold her down long enough for the injection, the whole time ahe was thrashing and screaming bloody murder. Then, less than a minute later, she just kinda woke up, with no idea what had happened. Crazy stuff yo.
As someone who has dealt with many paramedics & firefighters who have come to our aide with my dad who is a diabetic - this is very accurate! I showed this to my family & we had a good laugh! The paramedics and such have gotten to know my dad well & are always so kind ❤
I'm diabetic T1 since basically birth, and when I'm having hypoglicemia, i just get stoned tbh. A bit distressed and overwhelmed with anyone who tries to talk with me but otherwise i just get a bit high and act like im dreaming
I would go into fits of aggression. Coworkers figured it out and would call me on the loudspeaker forcing me to come in and eat before I basically lost it. Super chill dudes, didn't hold any of it against me either so that was nice.
So, true. You never know, and never will know, if you don't listen to those with more experience. One's rush will harm oneself and others in the process.
It would take like one of those worlds strongest men to do that to me you would need both long enough arms and be able to cleanly pick me up or it's just not happening easily
As someone whos Diabetic 1 and Hypoglycemic, I can confirm that your body goes into what I call "Survival Mode" when your bloodsugar gets low enough. Its your body making you a bit more of a Caveman in order to try to get you to eat and thus raise your bloodsugar to a normal human level.
This!!! When my glucose is low my brain going into auto pilot and guides me to food sources 😂😂😂😂😂 I cannot remember having any conversations with anyone after my hypos 😂😂😂
As a diabetic I assure you it's not that he's stupid strong, he feels almost unable to move so is using a disproportionate amount of strength to counter act it
I used to have a guy like this in my district, he was like wrestling an alligator covered in syrup. He was a professional bodybuilder and would kick our ass every time - but we knew what we were getting when that address came over the air
There was a great control room operator like that at previous job. Part of my first day introduction was a picture of Big Mike and instruction that if he started talking funny or not responding ask him to check his blood sugar. If he refused to check his sugar, I was told to back off and call security. He was former army, and about 6ft tall. If he misjudged his insulin and went low shit got crazy.
When I had my attack I wasn't awake. I didn't know what was gonna tell you? That's a scary feeling to have my daughter called the ambulance got me to the hospital. I don't know how long I was but I felt drained I I was unconscious and I'm here to tell you I was so far gone. I saw God he said this is not your timy daughter had to fill me in on what happened cause. I didn't remember and I don't remember.
I started cackling when he said, "If you're gonna be dumb, you'd better be tough"! That's something my dad has always said whenever someone was doing something stupid. 😂😂
My dads about to turn 80 and had a really bad sugar episode and had to be taken to the hospital and took me and three other paramedics to get him through a door because he was holding onto the frame.
Some of that is old man strength. Strength is the last to go. 80 years of lifting stuff. It's all cumulative. Tendons and ligaments age like wine and get better overtime in terms of strength. World's current #1 arm wrestler is 48 years old as an ode and example.
When I was having my second child, it was a scheduled c-section. As they were wheeling my wheelchair into the operating room, I grabbed the door jamb and told them "I change my mind. I don't want to do this today." Nurses pried my fingers loose and said oh honey, we're doing this. 😏
There was someone I knew like this. A short girl, couldn't have been more than 5'3'', but an incredible rugby player who could quite easily lift up guys a foot taller and throw them like beachballs.
Thank you for these light-hearted videos. I grew up as a young child calling 911 for my mother and helping her with many other physical ailments. It is nice to see first responders as people and the variations of challenges all people face working with others. It is a good cheer up.
a couple of years back, i had to save my mother at only 8. so one day, i was in the livingroom with my younger siblings. at the time, i heard my moms weak voice call my name, i went back to her room (where she was) and she said to call my dad, who at the time was at work. after i called him and told him what my mom had said, he told me to get sugar and a tablespoon. my diabetic mother was weak and seemed very loopy or tired so i knew what was going on. this happend in a car about a year or two before. so i left her room to get the sugar and spoon but by the time i got back she had already passed out. my dad hung up (or so i thought) and wouldnt pick up the phone when i attempted to call him again, so out of instinct i gave her sugar and called 9-1-1. i gave them her medical info, and by then she was back awake but unresponsive. when they got there my younger siblings who didnt know about it, freaked out. we didnt end up needing to leave the house or anything. my dad told me his phone had died at the time. thank u for taking the time to read this :)
My friend is diabetic and just stares into space making weird noises when he crashes. You just shove candy into his slack jaw and he comes back to life. Edit: by “candy” I mean stuff like caramel chews or sour patch kids. I’m not shoving a snickers down his throat or anything.
My Aunt is diabetic and this is legit. You have to be the right person to be able to give her her shot…. If you’re not the right person she’ll show you what it’s like to fly lol it’s ironic because when her sugar is right she doesn’t particularly care for me however when she’s low she adores the hell out of me and thinks I’m SO PRETTY 🤣 Her lows are absolutely terrifying but once she’s leveled out we usually get a pretty good laugh from what she has said
I watched my type 1 diabetic friend go into convulsions while passed out on the floor from a sugar low. The paramedics that answered my 911 call to the hotel we were at, came in, saw him convulsing on the floor, and instantly assumed he was having some kind of drug overdose and kept asking me what drugs he had taken. But he didn't do drugs. He was just very skinny and liked tattoos. So they were profiling him as a drug addict. When one of them knelt beside him, while he still was having convulsions, eyes rolled back in his head. They said " hello sir can you tell me your name" to him. I was thinking, how do you expect a man having seizures to speak? But to my surprise and the EMTs, Suddenly he snapped back awake and came off the ground to his knees, fists drawn, ready to fight. I quickly said, this is 911, they are here to help. And he instantly crumbled back to the ground saying ok. I understand. They had him sit up and while he was covered in sweats and shaking uncontrollably, they made him use his own test kit to test his own sugar himself. Telling me they couldn't do it for him. And refusing to give him aid when he told them himself that he was having a sugar crash. They just kept saying ok. We need you to check your sugar then. But when it came back with a 13. They finally freaking got into action. Saying they don't understand how he is able to even talk or sit up. He shouldn't be coherent. I'm thinking, you mean like he was when you got here but Gods helping him explain his situation to you morons. But apparently they still didn't know how to handle the situation. They gave him a whole tube of gel glucose, a banana, a whole soda, and he ate a whole container of glucose tablets. And they were still making him check his own sugar levels through all of it. Once his sugar started to rise, they took him to the nearby small town hospital. By the time he was at the hospital his sugar was way over 600 because that's as high as their testing device would go.. The hospital got him down to 400, and then discharged him into my care and sent us back to our hotel room. I was panicked. He was only my friend. I didn't know what to do. And they acted like he would be ok. But I didn't think he was ok enough to be discharged. But I trusted them. He explained to me while in the car on the way back to the hotel, that the emts almost let him die, then they almost killed him. And that the hospital had discharged him to soon just to get rid of the liability they had created. He was furiously mad when they came to say he was free to go. But I didn't understand why at the time. Cause he knew he wasn't in the clear. But he said he let them discharge him knowing he was in even more danger if he made them let him stay. He taught me how to check his sugar and operate his insulin injector, then had me keep waking him up every hour to check his blood sugar and coherency, then give him another shot. I did this for the rest of the night and into the morning before he was finally in the clear. That was my first time seeing what happens when the EMTs and hospital don't know what they are doing or don't care if you die. So, don't have a blood sugar crash in north TX when visiting Bonham Texas for a fly ball tournament. They really only know how to handle drug addicts apparently. Not lifelong type 1 diabetics. But, now I know more than them and learned how to not blindly trust the professionals.
They could have and should have given him a glucagon injection immediately... Glucagon kits should be on every Ambulance/Rescue vehicle. They're as important as Epi-Pens, and those things seem to be everywhere. Trying to make someone drink and eat in that state is difficult at best, and dangerous at worse. You're a good friend for taking care of your buddy like that.
You're a good man/woman for taking care of your friend and the fact the emt gave him that many is ridiculous (I would have flipped out on everyone) but you didn't know and that's OK.. thankfully you were there! Growing up I had to help take care of my grandmother and she was type 1 so at a young age I had to learn the signs and what to do in a emergency situation something I learned that helped if you do not have insulin for a sugar drop honey and jam packets are an absolute life saver
I don’t know, but he may have somehow gotten only EMT-B’s, especially if it was a volunteer department. They cannot give injections and may not be able to test blood glucose depending on their protocols.

My mum used to work nights at a 'mental home'. One night she had to go through one of the wards as the nursing station was at the far end. A male patient, naked mind you, got out of bed and asked my mum for a dance. She told him 'one dance and then you go back to bed'. He agreed and they waltzed up and down the ward for a couple of minutes. Then he went quietly back to bed. When my mum got to the nursing station the Matron asked what happened, mum explained and was told if she had said no he would have promptly lost his temper and could have attacked her.

The casual familiarity of seeing a regular, even if they're a regular PITA.
This happens because the body is being flooded with adrenalin in an attempt to keep you alive until you can get some food.
And because the brain can only use glucose to for energy, so it malfunctions when it doesnt have enough

It’s really refreshing. One of my loved ones is going through an illness which gives her emotional lability and a loss of social filters; seeing how some doctors will write her off because of it is incredibly frustrating. Or they’ll just assume it’s a mental/functional issue, which it isn’t

The brain relies solely on glucose for energy, so when your blood sugar drops it isn't able to work as effectively and falls back on more (for lack of a better word) primitive behaviour. Bye bye rational thinking, hello moodswings and aggression.
Never actually taken a swing at anyone when I had a hypo, thankfully. Just lost my temper really easily.

When my dad’s sugar was low he would do all kinds of things, throw punches, bite, kick and curse. This short is so validating, I always thought it was just how dad was.

Ah, I've met Jimmy. Daughter came in with her dad, who was really, really angry that EMS had taken him out of his car, which he was driving erratically. He (combatively and confrontationally) absolutely denied anything was wrong with him, in coherent, grammatically correct English, making perfect sense, and threatening me with all sorts of mayhem, not to mention legal action, if I didn't let him just leave; daughter says "This is how he gets when his sugar is low". Called his wife; she said the same. Ended up restraining him; checked his sugar, which was in fact low; gave him D50, and suddenly he's the nicest guy, whose first question was "Oh, God. What did I do?" (We told him he hadn't done anything; I felt bad for him). He knew how he got when he was hypoglycemic. Once his sugar was back up, he was a perfect gentleman.

Explain to me like I’m a beginner: why do people with low blood sugar hate treatment?
@@M_SC It's not that they hate treatment. The brain relies on sugar to process rational thoughts. When your sugar is low you literally can't think straight, so your brain registers anyone that gets close to you as a threat you need to fight off.

Then, less than a minute later, she just kinda woke up, with no idea what had happened. Crazy stuff yo.

One of the most humbling experiences is being lifted and placed elsewhere like a paper weight when you are used to holding your ground 😅
It would take like one of those worlds strongest men to do that to me you would need both long enough arms and be able to cleanly pick me up or it's just not happening easily
@@badfellow8422 lucky you lol dude was damn near Hulk 🤣 🤣 🤣
What makes this even better is the fact that Jason is already a !!HUGE MAN!! and he still feels this way about Jimmy.
It can go either way. My best friend turns into a blubbering mess who tells anyone with sugar "I don't tell you enough how much I love you!"
As someone whos Diabetic 1 and Hypoglycemic, I can confirm that your body goes into what I call "Survival Mode" when your bloodsugar gets low enough. Its your body making you a bit more of a Caveman in order to try to get you to eat and thus raise your bloodsugar to a normal human level.
When my mom gets super low like 30 or below she gets mean as hell. She will throw the coke at you and cuss you like your trying to kill her.
Lmao caveman is the perfect description of how it feels. My mouth just feels like it has to chew on something.
So why don't just walk to the fridge and have a cola?
This!!! When my glucose is low my brain going into auto pilot and guides me to food sources 😂😂😂😂😂 I cannot remember having any conversations with anyone after my hypos 😂😂😂
@@matthiasknutzen6061 Your brain doesnt function properly when you are that low.
As a diabetic I assure you it's not that he's stupid strong, he feels almost unable to move so is using a disproportionate amount of strength to counter act it
One of the most important lessons in life.
Love this guy
I used to have a guy like this in my district, he was like wrestling an alligator covered in syrup. He was a professional bodybuilder and would kick our ass every time - but we knew what we were getting when that address came over the air
Y’all need dart guns at that point lol
*Like wrestling an alligator covered in syrup* I'm stealing this lol
There was a great control room operator like that at previous job. Part of my first day introduction was a picture of Big Mike and instruction that if he started talking funny or not responding ask him to check his blood sugar. If he refused to check his sugar, I was told to back off and call security. He was former army, and about 6ft tall. If he misjudged his insulin and went low shit got crazy.
When I had my attack I wasn't awake. I didn't know what was gonna tell you? That's a scary feeling to have my daughter called the ambulance got me to the hospital. I don't know how long I was but I felt drained I I was unconscious and I'm here to tell you I was so far gone. I saw God he said this is not your timy daughter had to fill me in on what happened cause. I didn't remember and I don't remember.
Got some good stories bout Big Mike?
I started cackling when he said, "If you're gonna be dumb, you'd better be tough"! That's something my dad has always said whenever someone was doing something stupid. 😂😂
I could watch you talk to yourselves for an entire movie ❤️ you gotta make longer content 😂
That lurching stare would have my ass walk right back out of that house 😂😂😂 “looks like you are all good big man. Have a nice day ✌🏽”
As a person that has a very unstable blood sugar due to a neurological disorder I can confirm this is true.
Jimmy woke up and choose VIOLENCE! Well at least his blood sugar did.
Advanced hangry.
“If you’re gonna be dumb, you better be tough” is such a raw line, and such a freaking mood.
My dads about to turn 80 and had a really bad sugar episode and had to be taken to the hospital and took me and three other paramedics to get him through a door because he was holding onto the frame.
Some of that is old man strength. Strength is the last to go. 80 years of lifting stuff. It's all cumulative. Tendons and ligaments age like wine and get better overtime in terms of strength.
World's current #1 arm wrestler is 48 years old as an ode and example.
When I was having my second child, it was a scheduled c-section. As they were wheeling my wheelchair into the operating room, I grabbed the door jamb and told them "I change my mind. I don't want to do this today." Nurses pried my fingers loose and said oh honey, we're doing this. 😏
He learned that from a cat, guaranteed.
Me when hungry 😅
Thank you for posting this accurate short! It’s appreciated. There are many who are unaware of this stage of hypoglycemia/low blood sugar.
There was someone I knew like this. A short girl, couldn't have been more than 5'3'', but an incredible rugby player who could quite easily lift up guys a foot taller and throw them like beachballs.
It’s crazy when you enter the room and the patient is just stanced up like that 😂😂
Thank you for these light-hearted videos. I grew up as a young child calling 911 for my mother and helping her with many other physical ailments. It is nice to see first responders as people and the variations of challenges all people face working with others. It is a good cheer up.
a couple of years back, i had to save my mother at only 8. so one day, i was in the livingroom with my younger siblings. at the time, i heard my moms weak voice call my name, i went back to her room (where she was) and she said to call my dad, who at the time was at work. after i called him and told him what my mom had said, he told me to get sugar and a tablespoon. my diabetic mother was weak and seemed very loopy or tired so i knew what was going on. this happend in a car about a year or two before. so i left her room to get the sugar and spoon but by the time i got back she had already passed out. my dad hung up (or so i thought) and wouldnt pick up the phone when i attempted to call him again, so out of instinct i gave her sugar and called 9-1-1. i gave them her medical info, and by then she was back awake but unresponsive. when they got there my younger siblings who didnt know about it, freaked out. we didnt end up needing to leave the house or anything. my dad told me his phone had died at the time. thank u for taking the time to read this :)
Good on you, little buddy! I'm sure both your parents were extremely grateful to your quick thinking for saving the day.
@@mysterylovescompany2657it was scary tho cuz it was only me, my mom, and my clueless younger siblings.
Welcome :)
Amazing, I'm so happy everything worked out and you were able to have a positive impact. I'm sure they're incredibly grateful for you
Good job mate
Yeah they are 100% lizard brain at that point. Don't think you're gonna be able to force them to do what they don't wanna do without it being a fight.
only dude who plays multiple parts in sketches that is actually watchable
My friend is diabetic and just stares into space making weird noises when he crashes. You just shove candy into his slack jaw and he comes back to life.
Edit: by “candy” I mean stuff like caramel chews or sour patch kids. I’m not shoving a snickers down his throat or anything.
Funny way of saying it 😂
Watch out for choking
He should get some help - that is really dangerous to let your sugar go really low or high!!
Does he keep insulin and snacks on him?
@@kappamykappa6112 He has a pump now. He’s not very responsible as he smokes weed all the time. But he does keep candy on hand just in case.
My Aunt is diabetic and this is legit. You have to be the right person to be able to give her her shot…. If you’re not the right person she’ll show you what it’s like to fly lol it’s ironic because when her sugar is right she doesn’t particularly care for me however when she’s low she adores the hell out of me and thinks I’m SO PRETTY 🤣 Her lows are absolutely terrifying but once she’s leveled out we usually get a pretty good laugh from what she has said
That’s wild
.... Why are you giving your aunt a shot when her blood sugar is low? Are you trying to kill her?
I watched my type 1 diabetic friend go into convulsions while passed out on the floor from a sugar low. The paramedics that answered my 911 call to the hotel we were at, came in, saw him convulsing on the floor, and instantly assumed he was having some kind of drug overdose and kept asking me what drugs he had taken. But he didn't do drugs. He was just very skinny and liked tattoos. So they were profiling him as a drug addict. When one of them knelt beside him, while he still was having convulsions, eyes rolled back in his head. They said " hello sir can you tell me your name" to him. I was thinking, how do you expect a man having seizures to speak?
But to my surprise and the EMTs, Suddenly he snapped back awake and came off the ground to his knees, fists drawn, ready to fight.
I quickly said, this is 911, they are here to help. And he instantly crumbled back to the ground saying ok. I understand. They had him sit up and while he was covered in sweats and shaking uncontrollably, they made him use his own test kit to test his own sugar himself. Telling me they couldn't do it for him. And refusing to give him aid when he told them himself that he was having a sugar crash. They just kept saying ok. We need you to check your sugar then. But when it came back with a 13. They finally freaking got into action. Saying they don't understand how he is able to even talk or sit up. He shouldn't be coherent. I'm thinking, you mean like he was when you got here but Gods helping him explain his situation to you morons. But apparently they still didn't know how to handle the situation. They gave him a whole tube of gel glucose, a banana, a whole soda, and he ate a whole container of glucose tablets. And they were still making him check his own sugar levels through all of it. Once his sugar started to rise, they took him to the nearby small town hospital. By the time he was at the hospital his sugar was way over 600 because that's as high as their testing device would go.. The hospital got him down to 400, and then discharged him into my care and sent us back to our hotel room. I was panicked. He was only my friend. I didn't know what to do. And they acted like he would be ok. But I didn't think he was ok enough to be discharged. But I trusted them. He explained to me while in the car on the way back to the hotel, that the emts almost let him die, then they almost killed him. And that the hospital had discharged him to soon just to get rid of the liability they had created. He was furiously mad when they came to say he was free to go. But I didn't understand why at the time. Cause he knew he wasn't in the clear. But he said he let them discharge him knowing he was in even more danger if he made them let him stay. He taught me how to check his sugar and operate his insulin injector, then had me keep waking him up every hour to check his blood sugar and coherency, then give him another shot. I did this for the rest of the night and into the morning before he was finally in the clear. That was my first time seeing what happens when the EMTs and hospital don't know what they are doing or don't care if you die. So, don't have a blood sugar crash in north TX when visiting Bonham Texas for a fly ball tournament. They really only know how to handle drug addicts apparently. Not lifelong type 1 diabetics. But, now I know more than them and learned how to not blindly trust the professionals.
They could have and should have given him a glucagon injection immediately... Glucagon kits should be on every Ambulance/Rescue vehicle. They're as important as Epi-Pens, and those things seem to be everywhere. Trying to make someone drink and eat in that state is difficult at best, and dangerous at worse. You're a good friend for taking care of your buddy like that.
You're a good man/woman for taking care of your friend and the fact the emt gave him that many is ridiculous (I would have flipped out on everyone) but you didn't know and that's OK.. thankfully you were there! Growing up I had to help take care of my grandmother and she was type 1 so at a young age I had to learn the signs and what to do in a emergency situation something I learned that helped if you do not have insulin for a sugar drop honey and jam packets are an absolute life saver
I don’t know, but he may have somehow gotten only EMT-B’s, especially if it was a volunteer department. They cannot give injections and may not be able to test blood glucose depending on their protocols.
This is one of those cases where you call the press to get on their asses and file a complaint.
@The A.M.P. Co. Epi-pens, Glucagon, and Narcan, the trinity of rescue meds that need to be available to everyone everywhere.
I cannot describe how much i love watching these
Jimmy looks like he could single handily over throw the government
Hmm. Perhaps we're not utilizing diabetics properly.
