Last night I woke up at about 2:00 in the morning because I felt that I had a low blood sugar (blood glucose). I tested my blood sugar and the meter said that I was 52, which is a low blood sugar reading. I drank a juice box because juice brings up blood levels very fast. I then tested my blood sugar again after waiting for 15 minutes. It was then 97 which was at a normal rate and I went back to bed.
Every diabetic will have a low blood sugar, it's inevitable. When you do have one it is important to ALWAYS have a juice box near by so you can bring it back up and your meter so you can test. At night I always keep a juice box on my end table just in case I go low in the middle of the night. When you are traveling you should always have a juice box/bottle in your pocket, suitcase, backpack, etc... and your meter.
Diabetics should always keep a juice box or any kind of snack on them just in case they have a low blood sugar.
