Members shared their go-to remedies for raising low blood sugar, with the most popular choices being glucose tablets for their fast action without causing major spikes, small amounts of sugary drinks like orange juice or regular soda, and quick-dissolving candies such as Lifesavers or hard candy kept on hand. Several members emphasized the importance of knowing what truly counts as low, noting that numbers below 72 mg/dL require treatment while higher readings may just feel uncomfortable during adjustment periods. A recurring theme was being prepared by keeping emergency sugar sources readily available, whether glucose tablets in a pocket, candies in a purse, or juice boxes at home.

If you get a little blood sugar you want to get in a little higher you can drink any type of soft drink go up a little bit or you can get these look like Sweet tarts and take a few of those and or take something other sweetness and raise it up a little bit and your blood sugar should be come back to normal clothes I hope that answers your question

Good day all.
Thank you Elmo. A pharmacist gave us Amoxicillin for her. The hard skin is now peeling off. What I have noticed is that she can now stand on her feet unlike before. She used to cry a lot from severe pains. I will
wait and see how things go with the treatment. We were also given some ointment to apply to the wounds. Will observe how things go. Thank you all for support

@A DiabetesTeam Member first have ask How Low is Low that you are concerned about?

Unless it's BELOW 72 or 4.0 mmols that is NOT low enough to take action

If it's close to that and dropping then the many suggestions - 4oz of real juice (apple/orange) or a Glucose Tablet will do the trick

If it's "just low for you" but not <72 or 4.0 that is NOT a Low that you Treat, that is just a "normal blood sugar" that you may not be used to
