ADA recommends:: Keep some fast-acting sugars handy in case you go low. Here's a list of fast-acting sugars: 3 glucose tablets 4 ounces of apple or orange juice 4 ounces of regular soda (not diet!) about 1 tablespoon of cake frosting or icing about 3 jolly ranchers® about 6 lifesavers®.

Simple carbohydrates: These are rapidly absorbed into the blood and will raise up the blood sugar quickly( bread, rice, potatoes, pasta, or some fruit juice). Be sure to notify your PCP if this keeps happening to you. This would indicate that you need some investigation into the cause of the hypoglycemia, so as to avoid it in the future. All the best.
