What do you do when you have type 2 diabetes and you have low blood sugar levels?

Triad adjustment: #1 adjust eating intervals with the proper diet. #2 adjust exercise regimens to fuel during or after. #3 adjust medication dosages and types(oral agents or insulin) talk to your md about the low blood sugar levels and the above to make the necessary adjustments.

Diet/Medication: Low blood sugar is very common in patients with type 2 diabetes. It is the result of high Insulin output, especially when stimulated by particularly starchy or sugary food. A nutritionist will help modify your diet. Additionally, if you're on any diabetes medication, that may also be causing your lows. You should discuss with your doctor as you may need to have your meds adjusted.

Eat something: If you have a hypoglycemic episode, the following is reasonable: 1.) check your blood sugar (to document the low blood sugar) 2.) take 1/2 cup of orange juice. Alternatives are glucose tabs, glucagon injections, hard candy, etc. Just try not to over-do it. 3.) eat a meal. If this is recurrent, please discuss with your doctor as your medications/insulin likely needs to be adjusted.
