The standard of care for hypoglycemia:

  1. If possible, verify the low with a blood glucose meter.
  2. Assuming the low is real, consume 15g of fast acting carbs, 4oz juice or 3-4 glucose tablets or 8-10 grapes.
  3. Wait 15 minutes.
  4. Check glucose level with a blood glucose meter.
  5. If still low go to step 2
  6. Active bolus at the time of the hypo may need a higher amount of carbs, and may need fat an protein post recovery to prevent repeat hypos.
