Bill, a forklift operator for a local warehouse, isn’tfeeling well. He has Type 2 diabetes and his sugar levels are bottoming out.
He’s sweating profusely and feels lightheaded. A coworker comes over to ask Bill a question but the words aren’t making sense. Looking confused and disoriented, Bill unexpectedly lurches forward and falls to the ground at the feet of his coworker. In moments, he is unconscious and his breathing becomes erratic. Bill has fallen into a diabetic shock. The coworker has no idea what to do and precious seconds tick away as he struggles in vain to wake Bill. After losing vital response time, the worker finally grabs a phone and dials 9-1-1.
