Iâm a diabetic, and I can guarantee that the sugar will enter our blood in about 13 to 20 minutes. O-Jay is kinda one of the emergency drinks we diabetics use because of the easy absorption rate. It is very fast. Anything that is liquid sugar will be only minutes to enter your blood stream. OJ, coke, apple juice, lemonade, etc. I donât think it does very much to keep you awake though. People swear children get hyper from earing sugar, but some objective studies I read about 10 years ago that show it isnât true.
Test your blood sugar 30 minutes later to make sure it has risen. Repeat step 1 if necessary. After a moderate or severe low blood sugar, wait 30 to 45 minutes before driving or operating machinery. A return to normal coordination and thinking is slower than the return to a normal blood sugar.
