A member asked:
How long should it take for a low blood sugar of 50 to come up after having 15 carbs as instructed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A few minutes: It would depend on the type of sugar taken. Ingesting glucose would raise it the fastest. Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex.
