Whats the best thing to use to treat low blood sugar?
To treat a low blood sugar you will want to eat a form of carbohydrate that is easily digested and absorbed so that the sugar will enter the bloodstream quickly. Examples are glucose or dextrose tablets or glucose gel, fruit juice, regular soda (not diet), fruit, or a type of candy that is primarily sugar (and doesn’t contain protein or fat). Do not use chocolate bars, ice cream or cookies, all of which contain significant amounts of fat, which slows down the digestion of the sugar.
