Hypoglycemia-Fast acting carbs

[Guest guest]

I always keep a can of the icing in my purse and use it when needed. People

look at me funny when I put the nozzle in my mouth and eat some, but they

understand afterwards.

Hypoglycemia Busters (fast-acting carbs)

Keep something containing sugar with you at all times to treat hypoglycemia.

Each of the following foods has the right amount of carbohydrates (10 to 15

grams) to treat hypoglycemia.

2 glucose tablets or 2 doses of glucose gel

2-4 pieces hard candy

1/2 to 3/4 cup of orange or grape juice (a juice box is good when you're

away from home)

5 gumdrops

1-2 tablespoons of honey

6 oz. regular (not diet) soda (about half a can)

2 tablespoons of cake icing (the kind that comes in a tube is handy)
