High Blood Sugar Levels
Symptoms of high blood sugar (hyperglycemia) include the following:

Slow onset of confusion and irritability
Hunger, thirst and frequent urination
Headache
Blurred vision
Nausea and vomiting
Abdominal pain
Fruity smelling breath
A patient with high blood sugar levels is likely to need medical attention. Do not delay in seeking advanced medical care. If they become unresponsive, protect the airway and turn them into the recovery position.

The first aid treatment for low blood sugar levels is to give the patient sugar, followed by a complex carbohydrate. If the patient is unresponsive, urgent medical attention should be sought. All unresponsive patients should be placed into the recovery position (sometimes called the Safe Airway Position) in order to protect their airway.
