Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
In diabetes, acute hypoglycemia is a common and dreadful complication. Taking an energy drink instantly is the best way to solve the problem. Marijuana is not clinically used or recommended for use for this purpose. If you are having frequent spells of acute hypoglycemia then you need to get your doses of insulin adjusted by your endocrinologist.
Hope this answers your query. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
