I had hypoglycemia for many years before developing Type II diabetes. Mostly,

it was reactive hypoglycemia - I'd eat something way too sweet and/or carby, get

a buzz on, and then crash.

A low carb diet, and remembering to eat something with protein every four hours,

cleared up the problem. It doesn't have to be a ketogenic diet, and can include

carbs if they are

low-glycemic (see Rick Mendoza's pages).

Hello, Yes the 12 ounces or regular soda must be a mistake.  We instruct to use

1/2 can regular soda or 6 ounces which is similar to 4 oz of juice.  Can also

use 1 cup of milk, 5 hard candies like life savers or even 2tbls sugar dissolved

in water..the goal is for about 15 grams of carbohydrate of a rapid dissolving

food product to raise the blood sugar quickly (~ 15 minutes)  Often referred to

as the rule of 15. 

hopes this helps.

Subject: question about hypoglycemia

 

hello

I just had an instructor in my office. she is teaching an emergency response

class and uses the emergency response textbook from American Red Cross (and it

is often used to train EMT, etc). In the section of the book that discusses

hypoglycemia - it states that to treat - use glucose tablets or 4 oz of juice or

12 oz of regular soda. I have never heard of 12 ounces of regular soda and can

not think of any reason that the recommendation for soda would be so much more

than juice. I think this must be a mistake in the book, but wanted to know if

there are any diabetes experts out there that could explain this to me

thanks in advance
