Hypoglycemia Busters

Your child needs to keep something containing sugar (glucose) with her at all times to treat hypoglycemia. Each of the following foods has the right amount of carbohydrates (10 to 15 grams) to treat hypoglycemia.

  • 1/2 to 3/4 cup of orange or grape juice (a juice box is good when you're away from home)
  • 2 glucose tablets or 2 doses of glucose gel
  • 2–4 pieces hard candy
  • 5 gumdrops
  • 1–2 tablespoons of honey
  • 6 oz. regular (not diet) soda (about half a can)
  • 2 tablespoons of cake icing
