To prevent low blood sugar problems, eat meals at regular times. Skipping meals, fasting or crash dieting will cause your blood sugar level to plummet. Low blood sugar problems will have the same symptoms as above but only more intense and usually require assistance from others for treatment. To treat both mild and moderate low blood sugar problems, the following may be given to the patient: three glucose tablets, five dextrose tablets, ¾ cup of fruit juice, six LifeSavers, and four teaspoons of sugar. If the blood sugar level stays below 4.0 mmol/L after 15 minutes then repeat the treatment.To treat severe low blood sugar problems if the person is conscious, give the same items listed above for mild and moderate cases except increase the glucose tablets to four, the dextrose tablets to 7, the fruit juice to a cup, the LifeSavers to 8 pieces, and the sugar to 5  teaspoons. Repeat the process until blood sugar increases to 4.0 mmol/L. If, however, the person is already unconscious contact emergency services immediately. Severe cases may be treated with injections of glucagons.
