Need more info: There are a lot of variables. How often are you having ow sugars & how low? Are you on insulin & what types? Are you on oral medications (sometimes it can be harder to treat lows in people on oral medications)? How is your kidney & liver function? For now get glucose tabs & take up to 3 & a Rx for glucagon pens which fix lows fast & inc sugar sig . After one of these eat protein to keep sugar up.
