I’d imagine something more sugary like soda is probably better but if you don’t have any or don’t want it, try peanut butter. I learned in rehab that proteins help with the condition. How? I have no clue but they do I found and peanuts have lots of protein.

    I was a paramedic for 15 years, I would routinely use peanut butter to right out of the tub or peanut butter on white bread sandwiches to treat hypoglycemia in patients who were alert and able to follow commands. It works great, it’s probably the best food for the job; I preferred it over OJ because it has a little more sticking power than just straight sugar as in OJ.

    That’s what I do! Like today when my blood sugar was dropping, my go to is jiff spread on toast, usually takes about 15-20 mins and I start feeling better.
