How should low blood sugar be treated when my dad is in the heat on holiday?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Eating frequently: The mainstay of treatment is to eat small frequent meals every 2-4 hours. I usually recommend that the meals be 110 - 250 calories each (depending on your needs) with about 8-12 g of protein. Any time during the day you can eat your "main meal". Drink 16 oz of water at each meal as well.
