How to get back my blood sugar?

If you are experiencing low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), here are some steps to help bring it back to a normal range:

• Consume Fast-Acting Carbohydrates: Eat or drink something with 15-20 grams of fast-acting carbs, such as:

  • Glucose tablets or gel
  • Fruit juice
  • Regular soda (not diet)
  • Candy (like jellybeans)

• Recheck Blood Sugar: Wait 15 minutes and recheck your blood sugar. If it’s still low, repeat the process.

• Follow Up with a Snack: Once your blood sugar is back to normal, eat a small snack with protein and carbs to stabilize it (e.g., peanut butter crackers or cheese and crackers).

If symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical attention immediately.
