When in doubt, treat for low blood sugar!

  • Quickly raise your blood sugar by taking some form of sugar. Take ONE of these:
    • 3 or 4 glucose tablets
    • 1/2 cup (4 ounces) of regular (buy at a drugstore) (not diet) soft drink
    • 1/2 cup (4 ounces) of fruit juice
    • 8 ounces of milk
    • 5 or 6 pieces of hard candy
    • 1 tablespoon of sugar or honey
  • Wait 15 minutes.
  • Check your blood sugar again. REPEAT steps 1-3 until your blood sugar is above 70 mg/dL.
