If the individual has severe low blood sugar you may need to suspend insulin delivery.
Never ignore the signs of low blood sugar (no matter how mild). Any time the individual’s
blood glucose is low, treat immediately. Check it every 15 minutes while you are treating,
to make sure you don’t cause blood glucose levels to rise too high. If left untreated, severe
hypoglycemia can cause seizures or lead to unconsciousness.
