Hypoglycemia

These has been a lot of talk about treating hypoglycemia/low blood sugar,

Remain calm, Suggested treatment include - 15g of simple sugar (glucose or table sugar, etc), use 20g of simple sugar to correct severe hypoglycemia. This is about 3-4 glucose tablets, 5-6 hard candy and 120mL of REGULAR soda.

Suggest retesting 15min after a hypoglycemia episode,

and suggest a small meal after blood sugar has been corrected.
