what to do if my blood sugar level is to high or to low?

Answer 1

If your sugar is too low, eat some glucose tablets (3 or 4) and then wait 15 minutes and check again. If it's still not above 70, repeat!

If it's too high, check with your doctor about a sliding scale for insulin (if you're on it) or perhaps a different med (if you're Type 2).

Answer 2

If your blood sugar level is too low, eat some sugar (drink a reg. pop, for example). Wait for 15 minutes and then retest yourself. If you have glucose tablets, too, that is another option instead of pop or orange juice. Now, if your blood sugar is too high, take maybe 1 or 2 units of insulin, if you are on insulin. If you aren't, try eating some peanuts, corn chips...anything without sugar in it. Watch the signs. Do you get real sleepy when your sugar level is too high? Do you get excruciating headaches? At that point, you need to contact your doctor and see what he/she says to do.

Good luck.
