First, I would check with your Dr., but I know there are things that are for a quick boost available at the drug store. I would try a small amount of juice. Just enough to raise it quickly.

Baby girl, it doesn't matter. That's what you need. Sugars! There are glucose tabs out there. But my fav way is a lil juice. Or sugar Water. Don't drink a whole 8 oz! But an oz or 2 at a time. After 15 min check your sugars. If they are still down then take a lil more till your satisfied with the numbers.

On a side note just wanted to share my diabetic journey. In 2008 I was hospitalized with emergency surgery. They checked my sugars only to find they were 455! I was on an insulin drip in icu for 5 days.

The day of my bypass my A-1C was 13.5 !

At my 3 month check it was 8.5

At my 6 month check it was 4.8

That's normal non diabetic adult range!

I was taken off all my diabetic meds including insulin. The surgery has done its job! For me that is. I'm going to see my primary at my one yr check up. If its still down in that range I'm officially diabetes free. Hope you a safe journey!
