TREATMENT:
The fastest treatment for hypoglycemia is to have the patient eat some sugar. A piece of candy or some fruit juice will usually raise blood sugar quickly. Special glucose tablets or injections (shots) of glucose can also be used.
Long-term treatment of hypoglycemia requires changes in a person's diet. The usual recommendation is for a person to eat small but frequent meals throughout the day. They should avoid simple sugars, alcohol, fats, and fruit juice.
Alternative Treatment
Some homeopathic practitioners believe that hypoglycemia may be caused by a number of factors. They recommend a variety of treatments that may include acupuncture and herbal remedies. One suggested drink is made by boiling gentian (an herb) in water. Some practitioners also recommend adding chromium to the diet. Chromium is thought by some practitioners to help stabilize blood-sugar levels. Chromium is found in whole-grain breads and cereals, cheeses, molasses, lean meats, and brewer's yeast

Yes, I agree that it is very important to be familiar with this problem. Hypoglycemia may even lead to coma or death if not treated. By knowing how to use the glocumeter, a person will be able to monitor his or her blood sugar level. Most especially that the signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia are somewhat the same. The problem with diabetis is very important since it can also lead to heart disease.
