Immediate treatment of hypoglycemic shock involves giving sweet fruit juice, honey, candy, or sugar if the person is conscious. If the person is unconscious, nothing should be given orally, and intravenous glucose 50% should be administered. Giving insulin is not recommended as it can further lower blood sugar levels. Giving large quantities of clear fluids for shock is not specific to the treatment of hypoglycemic shock.
