The usual recommendation for treatment of hypoglycemia is 10–15 grams of a fast-acting simple carbohydrate,
orally, if the client is conscious and able to swallow (for example, 3–4 commercially prepared glucose tablets or 4–6
oz of fruit juice). It is not necessary to add sugar to juice, even if it is labeled as unsweetened juice because the fruit
sugar in juice contains enough simple carbohydrate to raise the blood glucose level. Addition of sugar might result in a sharp rise in blood sugar that could last for several hours.Physiological Adaptation
