How to differentiate between diabetes and what (differentiate means to tell the difference between...the difference between diabetes and what?)? Diabetes is a disease of the endocrine system where the body does not produce enough insulin or cannot use the insulin it produces. The question about first aid treatments for diabetes is a rather odd question...there is no first aid treatment for diabetes itself. Because it is something that will not go away, can only be managed, there is nothing to be done by a first responder. When the blood sugar gets too high or too low however there are several first aid treatments. Both conditions can lead to coma and eventually death. With a low blood sugar, if the patient is able, first aid means giving them something to eat. Preferably something with some sugar (like juice) and something with carbohydrates to sustain the sugar (like peanut butter or milk). For a high blood sugar the only thing to be done is to get to a hospital so the patient can get insulin. Luck. :)
