Correct answer: E — Give fast-acting carbohydrate and reassess
Symptoms suggest hypoglycaemia and immediate carbohydrate is required if the patient can swallow safely. In this vignette, "Give fast-acting carbohydrate and reassess" is the safest single best answer. The other options are less appropriate because they miss the key clinical risk, conflict with UK medicines guidance, or delay needed review.
