Is drinking honey suitable for low blood sugar?

Suitable.

Many patients with hypoglycemia will develop hypoglycemia at night when they are asleep (around 1 to 3 o'clock in the morning), which is very harmful and may last for several hours without waking the patient. In more severe cases, it may lead to sudden death.

Main symptoms: dizziness, excessive sweating, trembling all over, and even twitching of hands and feet or coma.

Experts point out that in order to avoid such risks for patients, family members should make some timely preparations. They can put a jar of honey by the patient's bedside to deal with symptoms of hypoglycemia at any time.

First aid measures for hypoglycemia:

1. Absolute bed rest and rapid glucose replenishment are the key to determining the prognosis. Timely sugar supplementation will completely relieve the symptoms; delay in treatment will cause irreversible brain damage. Therefore, it should be emphasized that at the time of hypoglycemia, any substance with higher sugar content, such as biscuits, juice, etc., should be given immediately. Severe cases should pay attention to accidentally inhaling food into the lungs and choking into the trachea, causing aspiration pneumonia or atelectasis.

2. Hypoglycemia patients who can feed themselves should eat a diet low in sugar, high in protein, and high in fat. Eat small meals frequently and add sugar once at midnight if necessary.

3. Intravenous injection of 50% glucose and 40-60ml is the most commonly used and effective method to rescue hypoglycemia. If the condition is not serious and has not caused serious damage to brain function, the symptoms can be relieved quickly and the mind can be awakened immediately.
