• If you suspect a low blood sugar… TEST IT.
• If the BS is below the recommended guideline for your age (<90 for those 5 years and under, <80 for those 6-12 years and <70 for those 13 years and older)…
1. Drink or eat a fast acting carb (about 15 grams of carbs)
• 4 oz of juice or 4 oz of regular pop
• 15 skittles or 4 starbursts
• 3-4 glucose tabs
• 8 oz of milk or 4 oz of chocolate milk
2. Recheck BS in 15 minutes. If it is still low then repeat the steps. If it is in normal range then eat a small snack or your regular meal.
• If the BS is actually below 50 then double the treatment. (For example: take 8 oz of juice instead of 4 oz or 30 grams of carb)

If the child is passed out or unconscious give glucagon and / or call 911. DO NOT attempt to put anything in their mouth at this time as they will choke.
