Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A diabetic suffering from low blood sugar needs a quick source of glucose to raise their blood sugar levels. Candy or other forms of simple carbohydrates like juice or glucose gel are the fastest and most effective choices. Insulin injection can further lower blood sugar and should not be given in this situation. A meat sandwich or drink of water will not provide quick enough relief.
