What should one do when diagnosed with hypoglycemia?

The treatment of hypoglycemia depends on the cause. For people with diabetes on medications to control blood sugar, frequent hypoglycemia requires adjustments in diet, exercise and medication dose and timing. People with “reactive” hypoglycemia are sensitive to rapid falls in blood sugar levels, even when the level is not dangerously low. The standard advice is to avoid all simple sugars and consider eating smaller meals more frequently to help prevent rapid swings in blood levels.
