Tip of the Week:
If you experience hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), your doctor
or diabetes educator may recommend keeping a "quick fix" of sugar with
you. Typically, these quick fixes should equal 10-15 grams of carbohydrate.
Examples include:
- 1/2 cup orange juice,
- 6 jelly beans,
- 2 T. raisins, or
- 5 Lifesavers candy.
Choose simple sugar foods that do not contain fat as fat will delay how quickly sugar goes into the blood stream (chocolate is an example of a
sugar food that contains fat). The goal with sugar foods is to increase blood sugar from a hypoglycemic state.
