If a diabetic passes out do you give smelling salts?

No. Smelling salts should not be given to a diabetic who has passed out.

Possible Reasons Why

* May not help; the faint can be because of low blood sugar, and smelling salts won't help if that's the cause.

* If diabetic is unconscious or does not regain consciousness quickly (like within a few seconds), turn the person on their side.

* Call 911

* If trained place person into recovery position.
