Tip: if {{kid}} {{is}} unwell, turn on sick-day mode below. It runs a 2-hour rhythm for BG, ketones, fluids, and temperature on the Today tab.
Some playbooks also surface elsewhere:

1
Sit {{kid}} down. Stop activity. Stay close.
2
Give 15 g fast carbs: 1 juice box (4 oz) or 3–4 glucose tabs or 1 glucose gel or a 15 g bag of Skittles.
3
Wait 15 minutes. Keep {{pron.o}} calm and seated.
15-min recheck timer
15:00
4
Recheck with finger-stick (CGM lags during a low).
5
Still under 70? Repeat the 15 g.
6
Once back above 80, give a follow-up snack with protein + carb if next meal is over 30 min away — cheese stick + crackers, half a banana + nut butter, etc.
Never during a low
- Never give insulin.
- Never let {{kid}} run, climb, or be alone.
- Never use chocolate, granola bars, or milk to treat — they work too slowly.
1
Confirm with a finger-stick if BG over 250 or something seems off.
2
Offer water (sugar-free fluids only while high).
3
If BG over 250: check ketones using the blood ketone meter or urine strips.
4
Follow {{kidPos}} endo's correction plan. Respect insulin-on-board — don't stack corrections.
5
Recheck BG in 1–2 hours. If still rising or not coming down, call the endo.
1
Lay {{kid}} on {{pron.p}} side (recovery position).
2
Give glucagon from the bag — nasal: insert tip and press plunger; auto-injector: hold against thigh until it clicks.
3
Call 911.
4
Stay close. {{Pron.s}} may vomit — keep on {{pron.p}} side.
5
Note the time of the glucagon dose. Tell EMS.
6
Once awake and able to swallow safely, offer 15 g fast carbs and then a protein snack.
7
Notify the endo team.
