What foods are for hypoglycemia?

Sugars ands carbs: The best treatment for hypoglycemia for diabetics is glucose tablets.They are easy to take and quantitate. Other options are drinks that contain simple sugars like o.J, non-diet soda or foods that are naturally sweet (candy, cookies etc). My favorite is milk; it has sugar in the form of lactose and the protein in it can be slowly converted to sugar.

4 reactive hypoglyce: Eat only meat or fish or cheese or eggs or poultry and low starch veggies, drink only water. In other words avoid all carbs, carbs will only briefly raise your sugar levels and then your Insulin levels. The fats in the meat or fish or cheese or eggs or poultry will act like a "log on your metabolic fire" to keep your blood sugar stable for hours without raising insulin.
