Low Blood Sugar

Hypoglycemia
You should know the signs of hypoglycemia or low blood sugar, such as feeling weak or dizzy, sweating more, noticing sudden changes in your heartbeat, or feeling hungry.

If you experience these symptoms, stop exercising and test your blood glucose.

If it is 70 or less, eat one of the following right away:
*Two or three glucose tablets
*1/2 cup (4 ounces) of any fruit juice
*1/2 cup (4 ounces) of a regular (not diet) soft drink
*1 cup (8 ounces) of milk
*Five or six pieces of hard candy
*1 or 2 teaspoons of sugar or honey

After 15 minutes, test your blood sugar again to find out if it has returned to a healthier level.

Once blood sugar is stable, if it will be at least an hour before your next meal, it's a good idea to eat a snack.

To be safe when you exercise, wear a medical ID bracelet or necklace in case of emergency, and carry something to treat hypoglycemia, such as glucose tablets or hard candy.

Teach all exercise partners the signs of hypoglycemia and what to do.
