Chapter 279 - Another Seizure

"Call an ambulance!" When Conan arrived, Chiba had just taken his hand away from Hiroharu Nagano's neck, and he said so. "The pulse and breathing are still there, but I think it's better for us to be cautious if diabetics have coma symptoms."

"Has he taken insulin?" Conan asked as he picked up his phone as he walked to the cabinet in the room, glanced at it, and asked. "I've taken insulin, it can't be low blood sugar, right?"

Diabetics need insulin injections before each meal because, as diabetics with insufficient insulin secretion, they need to supplement with extra insulin to cope with the sudden increase in blood sugar after eating. But it also means something else – if they don't eat in time after the insulin is injected, a high dose of insulin will convert the patient's blood sugar into a hypoglycemic condition that can lead to a coma in severe cases.

"There shouldn't be an accident like this," Chiba put his hand into the pocket of Hiroshi Nagano's body. "Unless something changes have occurred in Mr. Nagano's body, injecting a normal dose of insulin should theoretically not cause symptoms of hypoglycemia."

The dose of insulin is very particular (because too much injection can cause hypoglycemia, so it is common to start with only a small dose of insulin and gradually increase the dose to just enough to control the blood sugar to the right level.) )

When Qian Yu took his hand out of his jacket pocket, he was holding a few pieces of candy in his hand - this is standard for diabetics, and in order to prevent hypoglycemia attacks, they must carry some food with them at all times, so that they can eat some when necessary to relieve the symptoms of hypoglycemia.

"It's not low blood sugar, or maybe it's possible that he's taking a very large dose of insulin at once," Qian Yu stood up and walked to the cabinet as well, looking at the contents of the cabinet. "The snacks in his pocket are still there, and if he really feels the symptoms of low blood sugar, he should be able to eat these pieces of sugar."

"The ambulance should be there soon," Conan put down his phone, then looked at Chiba as if he was looking for something in the cabinet but didn't find it. "If you want to see the insulin dose, the dose is normal, only 6 units."

"How do you know what he's doing?" Qian Yu was stunned. "I didn't see the needle......"

"Look at this," Chiba pointed to something like a pen through the glass of the cabinet door. "That's it."

"Is this a syringe?" Qian Yu looked at this "fountain pen"

"It's a new product in recent years," Conan explains. "Insulin pen from Novo Nordisk. A pen of this size can hold 100 units of insulin at a time, and now you see this level gauge on this? This is used to show the remaining dose, and the capacity of this insulin pen is 100 units, and now the remaining amount of this insulin is 94 units of insulin, so Mr. Nagano must have only injected 6 units of insulin just now. ”

"It's weird with a normal dose......" Qianyu frowned.

At this moment, Qian Yu suddenly felt a chill in his back. He turned around only to find nothing but a black cat lying on a small counter about a meter high, staring at him silently.

They actually have cats in their family? I haven't seen it before......

His gaze moved slightly downward, and he landed on the small food bowl full of cat food in front of the cat.

Even the food bowl is placed here, and it seems that this cat likes cats here very much...... No wonder I didn't see it before.

Then, the auxiliary unit said that the chill behind Qianyu felt before was an objective chill - next to the cabinet where the cat was, the window of this room was wide open, and a breeze was constantly pouring in from there, and then gently parted from Qianyu's side.

The window of the room was open, and there was a window on the nearest wall outside the window.

Through that window, Chiba saw the bathroom—if Chiba remembered correctly, while waiting for the meal to begin, the three of Nagano Hongji's disciples seemed to have been to this toilet before, and they all took several minutes.

"Tsk......" Qian Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.

Just then, the sound of an ambulance came from afar.

……

When the doctor walked out of the ward, Lady Nagano and his disciples hurriedly came up.

"Doctor, may I ask my sir—" Lady Nagano asked.

"Your husband is fine," the doctor shook his head. "Although the blood sugar is slightly higher than the normal range, it is more than harmless considering the status of a diabetic person."

"Then why did he pass out?" Mrs. Nagano asked.

"I guess it's because of this," the doctor pulled out a small disc. "Ma'am, do you remember if your husband posted this?"

"What is this?" Mrs. Nagano pondered for a moment. "Wait a minute, my husband does seem to have this in his box...... What is it? ”

"Anti-motion patch," the doctor replied. "The main ingredient of patches used to prevent adverse reactions such as motion sickness is scopolamine. One of the side effects of this medicine is dizziness, which is why your husband falls. And it was precisely because he fell on his head that he fell unconscious. ”

"So what should we do now?" Mrs. Nagano asked. "Need treatment?"

"I've taken the scopolamine patches off," the doctor said. "So you can now take the sick home to recuperate. If there are no further symptoms within a few days, there should be no problem. ”

"Thank you," Mrs. Nagano bowed slightly, then walked to the door of the hospital room and pushed it open. "Hongji."

Chiba and the others also followed the three apprentices of Koji Nagano into the ward, only to see that Koji Nagano had already woken up and was half lying on the hospital bed. "Ah, you're here too?"

"Mr. Nagano, are you okay?" Ayumi worried. "It's scary how you look when you fall to the ground!"

"It's okay, it's okay," Hiroshi Nagano replied with a smile. "Look, uncle, haven't I recovered my health? Come on, if I didn't invite you to dinner at home, Uncle will take you to a big dinner! ”

With that, Koji Nagano sat up from the bed, bent down, and put on his shoes on the ground. Then he stood up and looked at everyone.

"You see, I'm not—"

Hiroji Nagano's voice stopped abruptly, and his own gaze suddenly became blank.

"Hongji? (Uncle?) Lady Nagano, Chiba and the others were stunned at the same time.

Koji Nagano's head spun around twice as if he was a little dizzy, and then he collapsed on the hospital bed with his whole body. Then, his body began to twitch continuously at a rapid frequency.

"Doctor! Something happened! One of Nagano's disciples had already shouted.

"That's not good...... Qian Yu muttered.
