Lifestyle and home remedies

Teach people how to help

Inform people you trust, such as family, friends and co-workers, about hypoglycemia. If others know what symptoms to look for, they might be able to alert you to early symptoms. It's important that family members and close friends know how to administer glucagon so that a potentially serious situation can be easier to safely manage.

Plan ahead

Always carry a low blood sugar treatment with you, such as glucose tablets, hard candy or gel.

Wear a medical ID

It's a good idea to wear a bracelet that identifies you as someone who has diabetes.
