hypoglycemia management

Hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar, requires prompt action. If someone shows signs like shakiness, sweating, confusion, or dizziness, give them 15 grams of fast-acting carbs such as glucose tablets, juice, or regular soda. Wait 15 minutes and recheck their blood sugar if possible. If still low, repeat the treatment. Once blood sugar returns to normal, eat a small snack with protein to maintain levels. If the person becomes unconscious or unable to swallow, do not give food; instead, seek emergency medical help and administer a glucagon shot if available. Always follow personalized medical advice for ongoing management.
