Managing Low Blood Sugars: Tips and Tricks

I listened to you guys advice and got juice. It’s a berry juice and not overly sweet.

For me I do 3 Starburst candies.

I use these tiny juice boxes feom walmart. They are 14 to 16 carbs per box, which makes them super easy to dose. Then I will sometimes do a hand full of nuts, or cheese or a scoop of peanut butter to go with it if its really low. Having fats/ protein will help level you out in the long run. Maybe talk with your endo about changing your basal or bolus rate. It might be too high if your dropping often.

If youre really low a whole banana and some kind of protein. The cleaner the better like chicken or turkey

my blood sugars are so stubborn that i make sure to measure out carbs with something i really like, candy for example! it’s always worked the fastest on me but make sure to count your carbs!

I’ve found that glucose tabs help me a lot and then usually a granola bar to help keep it up afterwards!!

I've found that grape juice is so sugary and that it infiltrates the membranes in my mouth that it's the best and quickest way to get my blood sugar up. And for some reason if I put it on ice it doesn't upset my stomach.

I usually use juice and some sort of starchy thing, the juice helps bring your blood sugar up super quickly and the starch releases slowly to help keep it stable after the juice kicks in! Doesn’t specifically have to be juice, just something sugary and then something starchy. And of course monitor how much of both you’re having! Don’t wanna go high!

Glucose tabs + Apple juice 🤌🏻👍🏻

Honey does as well
