How do I treat a hypo?
The best treatment for a hypo is to take a fast acting glucose based food or drink item immediately. Examples of sources of fast acting glucose include a small glass of a sugary drink, a small carton of pure fruit juice or 5 sweets.
These all contain 15-20g of glucose, which is an appropriate amount to take for a hypo.
It is a good idea to keep suitable snacks close by all the time.
