If you are on insulin or oral hypoglycaemic drugs, and do not eat in scheduled timings, you might get hypoglycemic episodes.
Symptoms are broad:nervousness,sweating,intense,hunger,trembling,
weakness,palpitations, andoften have trouble speaking.
Regular soda, juice, lifesavers, table sugar, and the like are good options. Take 4 teaspoons of sugar or 1/2 can of regular soda or juice. If after 10 minutes there is no improvement, repeat taking it again.This can be repeated up to three times. At that point, the patient should be considered as not responding to the therapy and an ambulance should be called.
