What should patients with hypoglycemia eat?

Patients with hypoglycemia can generally consume foods such as glucose water, bananas, honey, chocolate, and fruit juice. Additionally, medications such as glucose injection, dextran 40 injection, sodium lactate Ringer's injection, sodium chloride injection, and fructose injection may be used according to medical advice. If any abnormalities occur, prompt medical attention is recommended. Detailed explanations are as follows:

I. Foods

1. Glucose Water: Glucose water is one of the quickest ways to raise blood sugar levels. Drinking glucose water directly can be rapidly absorbed by the body, quickly increasing blood glucose levels and alleviating symptoms of hypoglycemia.

2. Bananas: Bananas are rich in natural sugars and fiber, providing energy relatively quickly to help raise blood sugar levels. Potassium in bananas also helps maintain electrolyte balance.

3. Honey: Honey contains natural glucose and fructose, which can be directly absorbed by the body to rapidly increase blood sugar levels. Drinking honey mixed with warm water enhances its effectiveness.

4. Chocolate: Chocolate contains simple carbohydrates that can be quickly broken down into glucose, thus raising blood sugar levels. However, dark chocolate should be chosen to avoid excessive additives.

5. Fruit Juice: Freshly squeezed juice contains natural fructose that can be absorbed relatively quickly to raise blood sugar levels. However, juice with added sugars should be avoided to prevent excessive sugar intake.

II. Medications

1. Glucose Injection: Glucose injection can directly enter the bloodstream, rapidly increasing blood sugar levels and is suitable for severe hypoglycemic symptoms.

2. Dextran 40 Injection: Dextran 40 injection can rapidly provide energy and help raise blood sugar levels, suitable for situations requiring rapid energy replenishment.

3. Sodium Lactate Ringer's Injection: Sodium lactate Ringer's injection helps maintain electrolyte balance while providing energy to raise blood sugar levels.

4. Sodium Chloride Injection: Sodium chloride injection helps maintain electrolyte balance while providing energy to raise blood sugar levels.

5. Fructose Injection: Fructose injection can be directly absorbed by the body to rapidly raise blood sugar levels, suitable for situations requiring rapid energy replenishment.

Hypoglycemic patients should follow doctors' recommendations regarding dietary and medication choices, regularly monitor blood sugar levels, maintain a healthy lifestyle including moderate exercise and a positive mindset, avoid prolonged fasting, replenish energy timely, and reduce the risk of hypoglycemic episodes.
