If you see a diabetic developing serious symptoms (confusion, shaking, sweating) and you're not sure if it’s because of high/low blood sugar, give them some sugar first if they're still conscious while trying to get to the hospital.
Low blood sugar kills fast but high blood sugar won't be significantly worsened by a small sugar dose.
When in doubt, give sugar.
This afternoon, I went to a salon on my street to get my hair washed and put into cornrows.
When I left my house, the sky was clear and the weather was beautiful. It wasn't sunny, nor was it cloudy.
When I got to the salon, the hairstylist wasn't there. She had gone out briefly. The woman I met there told me to wait a bit for her, and I did. About 10 minutes later, the hairstylist came back and she started to attend to me.
After washing my hair, halfway into braiding it, the skies suddenly turned grey, and dark clouds started to gather.
It was clear to see that heavy rain was coming.
People walking by started to walk faster. Traders started to take their wares inside their shop. The street became busy with people hurrying to get to their destination before the rain started.
I told the hairstylist to hurry up. I didn't want to be caught and held up in her shop by the rain.
But it was too late.
Just as the hairstylist plaited the last cornrow, the rains came down. Falling angrily... accompanied by a breeze that upturned plastic tables and pushed nylon bags into the gutter by one side of the street.
I had no option but to wait it out.
I had been sweating earlier when I had left my house, and I was wearing a tank top and shorts. The sudden change in weather brought a new feeling. Cold. I was so cold I was shivering slightly. I needed to get back home.
I thought about braving it and running home in the rain, but common sense prevailed, so I stayed back and waited.
The hair stylist offered her umbrella.
A small umbrella.
I knew it had no chance against the heavy, rainy breeze, so I took it but held on to it. I wanted the rain to subside a little before heading out.
A few minutes later, as if the skies were listening, the rain subsided.
People who were caught in the rain and had taken shelter in shops and stalls started to come out and run towards their destination before the rain became heavy again.
I knew it was my chance too to go home.
I thanked the hairstylist for her umbrella and promised her that David would bring her umbrella back to her when I got home.
I then headed home.
It was still raining but not as heavily as it had started.
As I walked, I kept looking down to avoid puddles of water.
I was still looking down when I heard, "Mummy."
I looked up to see my son, David, in the rain.
He had an umbrella over his head in one hand, and in his other hand was another umbrella.
"I knew the rain held you there, so I was bringing an umbrella for you."
I just looked at him, my heart bursting with love.
"I'm sorry I wasted time," he continued, "the rain was too heavy for the small umbrella, so I collected umbrella from Xhjkk to come."
Me:
“Oh guy I’m sorry Ochanya had to go through all that because of what my brother or dad did , I do not support r*pe and I wouldn’t . I hope she gets justice “

Northern nepo babies will be on the internet talking about “free Palestine” but your parents are busy terrorising us in this country

Unfortunately there are some men that simply only have energy for women.
When their fellow man violates them; they find inner peace but when it’s a woman…they remember their voice.
Level headed man and it’s still paining you 600 years later. Instead of you to be honest with yourself that you’re a lewser (or maybe his errand boy) and scared of that your friend
That Yinka boy's tweet triggered me like mad. Modern men claim to be protectors, but when the time comes to actually protect, they do absolutely nothing.
A friend with no boundaries will not just harass your partner or wife; they will move on to your daughter.
Make trabalism a crime just like they did in Rwanda. No tribe talks, everyone is just Nigerian. 6months jail time as punishment. Then, death sentence to corrupt government officials and all assets seized.
