I have diabetes and my blood sugar is 68 should i go to the hospital for that?

Drink some orange juice or other source of quickly available sugar and retest in 15 min. A 68 is not going to put you in the hospital.

Agree with Dr. Ferguson. 68 is not critically low and intake of fruit juice of some sugar will take care of it. Talk to your doctor at your convenience to discuss if the dose of your medication needs to be adjusted. Wish you good health!
