For example, a 5-gram glucose tablet raises the blood sugar about 20 points at 150 lbs. Use 15 to 20 grams of quick carbohydrate for all low blood sugars. Check to see how many grams are in each glucose tablet you use so that you actually get 15 to 20 grams. The quick carbs listed below should rapidly raise the blood sugar between 45 and 80 mg/dl (1.7 to 4.4 mmol) depending upon your weight.
