Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for asking!
I have gone carefully through your concern.
Hypoglycemia is a condition characterized by abnormally low blood glucose (blood sugar) levels, usually less than 70 mg/dl.
However, it is important to talk to your health care provider about your individual blood glucose targets, and what level is too low for you.
How to treat it?
-Consume 15-20 grams of glucose or simple carbohydrates
-Recheck your blood glucose after 15 minutes
-If hypoglycemia continues, repeat.
-Once blood glucose returns to normal, eat a small snack if your next planned meal or snack is more than an hour or two away.
15 grams of simple carbohydrates commonly used:
-glucose tablets
-2 tablespoons of raisins
-4 ounces (1/2 cup) of juice or regular soda (not diet)
-1 tablespoon sugar, honey, or corn syrup
-8 ounces of nonfat or 1% milk
-hard candies, jellybeans, or gumdrops (see package to determine how many to consume)
Meanwhile you should talk to your treating physician to adjust the doses of mediactions in order to prevent further hypoglicemic events.
Wish you good health,
Kind regards,
Dr.Mirjeta
