Which food are the best choices for treating a patient experiecing a hypoglycemic low blood sugar reaction?

AnswerAs a diabetic myself, I suggest a Mars bar or a fizzy drink

(not the diet variety) it is a good idea to keep glucose tablets close to hand.

not sure what you mean by reaction.. most are mild.. but here's my answer

I'm not diabetic but I am hypoglycemic and a mars bar or any candy bar for that matter I wouldn't even go near because it just makes me feel terrible afterwards. I would go for the fizzy drink or fruit juice and then after that (very important) adhere to a vegetable and protein diet, no sugars or carbs just to stabilize yourself. This might take days. only then after stabilizing would i go back to eating fruits and some carbs. check with your doctor or even better a dietician or endocrinologist for the best hypoglycemic diet for you. Do your own research too. the more you know the better off you are. and remember it could just be that you haven't eaten in a while. you must eat smaller meals more often. I don't even look at it as a struggle I look at it as an alternate lifestyle perhaps from the average. you can keep your hypolglycemia under control (rather than it controlling you) without any prescriptions or pills. Only then will you feel your best. No cake or candy or coffee or wine can compete with feeling your best (but hopefully they serve those things in heaven good luck to patient and doctor.
