I'm taking a bacterial overgrowth test tomorrow morning and am a type 1 diabetic. if my sugar drops today, can i drink orange juice to raise it?

Yes: If your glucose drops low it definitely need to be treated to avoid injury. Skim milk, juice or 3 quick-dissolving glucose tablets should be used and recheck your glucose in 15 minutes. You're only trying to get it about 70. Don't overtreat w/food.
