STEPS TO TAKE:

2. If possible drink a tube of glucose
3. You can also drink a regular soda (not diet) or you can drink a juice, eat a piece of hard candy to help your blood sugar go back up to normal.
4. Check out your blood sugar level in about an hour to determine if it has risen.

ADVISE:
1. If the problem persists contact your physcian
2. Never increase your insulin without your physcians advice

  1. Many diabetics suffer from low blood sugar as well as high blood sugar. The symptoms are easily spotted when you are use to being a diabetic. It is important that you keep checking your blood sugar daily and take the amount of insulin that is prescribed.
