Question: My girlfriend had a blood sugar of 31, how bad is that for her!?
She's back on her way up, but what if anything is a side effect, and even though she's now 51 and going up, is there anything to look out for!? I gave her a soda, but should I go out and get her food!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
Next time, no soda, my dear!. It will drive her sugar way high!.
she is diabetic, right!? You need to help her stock up some bottle fruit juice or a half gallon of orange juice or apple juice!.
31 is low, you need to give her a glass or 2 of orange juice, quick! It will keep her sugar level back up around 70-100 for 15 minutes, she has to eat right away!. Don't feed her sugary things! Eat the normal diet!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

low blood sugar means that the body won't get enough sugar and if you go TOO low, you might get a 'hypo', where she might lose common sense and hallucinate!. You'll have to give her sugar by giving her food and stuff then!. When the hypo is over, she won't remember anything what happened during the hypo!.
Things to watch out for when a diabetic person is in a Hypoglycemia state:
1!. Signs of sleepiness!. She might go into a coma if she falls asleep!
2!. Aggression!. Some people can become very aggressive
3!. Urges to scratch (or hurt in any other way) herself!.
4!. Comfort your friend!. They often hallucinate things, seeing or even feeling things which aren't there!.
You'll have to force her into getting her sugar up!. Sugar drinks are good things to give her!. Or fruit cookies!. Anything with lots of sugar is good, they kick in fastest!. Best is pure glucose!. Most diabetic people carry some with themselves!. Try looking for it!. When she regained consciousness let her eat some normal stuff!. The very sugary stuff were to get her sugar up fast!.
Anyways good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

She should be eating regular meals and it would be best to have a sugary fruit, such as an apple or orange, around to snack on if her blood sugar drops!. Remember, a low blood sugar condition is much more serious than a high blood sugar condition as the low blood sugar is an immediate life threatening condition!.
Look out for them acting like she is very sleepy, kind of drunk even when the blood sugar gets too low!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

At 55 you have complaints of sweating, anxiety, tremor, palpitation and hunger!.
At 50 or below drowsiness, confusion, loss of consciousness and seizures depending on how low it goes!.
As long as she is awake and the value is increasing toward normal she should be alright!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

we used to give our diabetic resident at personal care home a p-nut butter and jelly sandwich or glass of O!.J!.with one teaspoon sugar in it,Hers was as low as 31 also but it would skyrocket too!.She had unmanageable diabetesWww@Answer-Health@Com
Yes follow up a fast-acting treatment with something more solid, preferably a protein!. My follow up choices are usually something along the lines of peanut butter crackers, or milk!.
Coke isn't a great choice but in an emergency, you have to pick your battles!. If she's climbing slowly don't continue to feed her sugar, she'll rebound and tip the scales with a very high blood sugar!. She might rebound anyway, it happens, best you can do is correct with care!.
Yes 31 is very low!. Anything under 65 you're at risk for unconsciousness!. It's possible she wasn't experiencing symptoms!. Sometimes you can go low very quickly and you're in danger before you know what's going on!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
