Also be sure to keep high sugar or orange juice available to bring the sugars back up. Retest every twenty minutes. Call 911 if person does not respond. We lost a cousin who went too low. Very serious.

The biggest concern is low blood sugar. Make sure someone knows they were taken, keep track of your blood sugar, and eat plenty of protein. Call your dr and see if he wants you to be seen.
