FAQ

What is a good meal plan for hypoglycemia?

A good meal plan for hypoglycemia is breakfast, lunch, and dinner plus a snack, with protein and a carb at each sitting, about every 3–4 hours. Skipping meals and sugary drinks used as a meal make lows more likely. The week on this page follows that pattern and ends with a bedtime snack. It is not a very low-carb diabetes menu. If you use insulin or a sulfonylurea, follow the snack timing your clinician set.

What to eat before bed to prevent hypoglycemia?

A small bedtime snack with protein and a slow carb helps prevent an overnight low. Useful options are Greek yogurt with berries, an apple with peanut butter, cheese with a few whole-grain crackers, or a glass of milk. Eat it about 30–60 minutes before sleep. Candy at bedtime is for a low that is already happening, not for prevention.

What foods get rid of hypoglycemia?

When blood sugar is already low, use about 15 grams of fast carbohydrate, then recheck in 15 minutes. That is 4 glucose tablets, 4 ounces (120 ml) of juice or regular soda, or 1 tablespoon of honey. If the next meal is more than an hour away, follow that with a snack that has protein. A full dinner is too slow for a low that is happening now. If someone cannot swallow, is confused, or has a seizure, use prescribed glucagon and get emergency help.

What candy is good for hypoglycemia?

Glucose tablets are the most reliable candy-like option because the dose is marked. Jelly beans, Skittles, Smarties, and other hard candies also work if they are mostly sugar and you count out about 15 grams of carbohydrate. Chocolate, candy bars, and ice cream are a poor choice for a low that is happening now because the fat slows absorption.
