Hypoglycemia or low blood sugar (below 70) can be fatal if immediate action is not taken. Signs of low blood sugar could be:

The "rule of 15" is commonly used as a guidenline for treatment. Recently, I was featured on FM radio on this topic (listen to the below recording).

Step 1. After checking your blood sugar with your meter and realizing that your level is under 70, consume 15 grams of carbohydrate (a glass of coke, sprite etc.), wait about 15 minutes, then recheck your blood glucose level.

Step 2. If your blood glucose level is still low, consume another 15 grams of carbohydrate (a glass of coke, sprite etc.) then recheck your blood glucose levels after 15 minutes.

Step 3. If your blood glucose is still low, consume another 15 grams of carbohydrate (a glass of coke, sprite etc.)

Step 4. If still low, immediately seek medical help-- call ambulance or rush to the nearest healthcare emergency.

Even though diabetes is a very unfortunate disease, that does not mean you will have to put your entire life on hold for it. If you take the right steps at the right time, watch for warning signs, keep taking your medicine regularly and listen to your doctor’s advice, you maybe able to lead healthy lifestyle.
