To treat both mild and moderate low blood sugar problems, the following may be given to the patient: three glucose tablets, five dextrose tablets, ¾ cup of fruit juice, six LifeSavers, and four teaspoons of sugar. If the blood sugar level stays below 4.0 mmol/L after 15 minutes then repeat the treatment.
