Diabetes
Self-monitoring
If
your glucose level is too low (usually 70 or below), take one of
the following:
- 3
or 4 glucose tablets
- a
half cup of fruit juice
- 6
ounces of regular soda
- 5
or 6 pieces of hard candy
- 1
tube of glucose gel.
Tell your doctor if you have hypoglycemia often, especially if it
is at the same time of the day or night several days in a row. You
can prevent hypoglycemia by eating regularly schedule meals, taking
your diabetes medicines according to your
doctor’s instructions, and checking your blood
glucose levels. Checking your blood glucose levels will tell you
whether your glucose level is getting too low or too high.
