Narrative:
Passenger xy in row X was unresponsive, turning white, and his vision was going as we taxied out to the runway. His traveling companion said he was diabetic and just took his medication and should be okay. Mr xy started vomiting. Afterwards he said that he was okay and wanted to continue on, however he began turning white and unresponsive again. We administered oxygen and returned to the gate. The paramedics came on board and took him off by gurney. The cockpit was excellent about communicating with us and the airport crew. The paramedics were onboard immediately when we reached the gate. The oxygen bottle was easy to remove from the brackets, and was replaced before we left the gate again.
