Ugh oookaaaay here go....

If you have a relative or a friend who has type 2 diabetes here are tips to get their sugar up quicker:

1. Chocolate!!! M&M. Take 1 (or how every many you think will get it up, DON'T OVER DO IT Use 1 & SEE HOW THAT GOES) M&M. Get a sharp knife and either cut into it and pick the candy shell away. Or apply pressure till it breaks and picks the candy shell away. Either way this works.

2. Ensure or whatever juice you own/have to get up the low blood sugar. Take the drink and a straw aaand slowly add pressure to slowly feed them droplets or small doses. wait in between like 20 mins or more. Check their sugar repeat.

3. Dex4 glucose tablets that raise blood sugar quick, very fast and provides energy. I didn't try this but it's a suggestion. (AFTER PILL IS DISSOLVED WAIT FOR THE HOT WATER TO COOL TO SUITABLE TEMPERATURE FOR INGESTION) If the person CANNOT chew the tablets. Get a cup of hot water with a small amount and add 1 pill, half, a quarter which ever works. Wait till the pill dissolves and add more water and/or more pill then proceed to feed them their medicine. ANOTHER METHOD: Place 1 pill into a small and add hot water to it to see how much it takes to dissolve you can a bit more to dilute. I don't think diluting matters because it all going in them anyway.

I've tried 1 and 2 for my mom right now who is asleep in her state of low blood sugar. They work a bit i mean she's asleep so she's not getting it all in her system. But good news her sugar was 32 is now 39. Soooo making sloooow progress. *sighs*

4. EXTRA: People with low blood sugar type 2 diabetes sweat A LOT!!! Have the strongest fan on to keep them cool and more alert. If this isn't working then go into your fridge get ice cubes put them in a bag and lay them on the person. Remove at certain points because this will shock them awake and it's more IF their unconscious. DON'T LEAVE ICUBES THERE FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME!!!

That is all.

UPDATE: Ended up doing all 4. Worked. Here's the thing though when your bring up someone's low blood sugar be aware of how much sugar you are giving them and keep note of what you fed them.
