How should hypoglycaemia be treated?
First it has to be recognised, then Immediately eat/drink a limited amount of glucose (eg 2 glucose tablets or a small glass of ordinary lemonade) Retest blood glucose if possible/practicable, after 5-10 minutes Eat some longer-acting carbohydrate (eg a banana or two biscuits) to maintain blood glucose at safe levels until the next meal. Afterwards think about why it happened and how similar episodes could be prevented. If it happens frequently or badly talk to your nurse or doctor.
