How do you get blood sugar down when someone is drunk and when they're diabetic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The same: Way as when they're not drunk -- that is with rehydration and medication, either oral or Insulin as needed. They do, however, need to be watched closely during the process. Excess alcohol is not a good idea in anyone, but particularly bad in someone with diabetes.
