Hypoglycemia

advertisement
Question from Amman, Jordan:

How we can prevent hypoglycaemia?

Answer:

From: DTeam Staff

Assuming you are asking about avoiding hypoglycaemia in the context of diabetes, there are three basic rules:

Always take the correct insulin dose
Always eat an appropriate amount of carbohydrate with every meal and snack
Always take extra carbohydrate for extra exercise

The detail of this has to be worked out for each individual and you will get more information from your doctor/diabetes nurse. Also see all the information on this and other websites about dietary tips/advice.
