The standard medical recommendation for treating mild hypoglycemia (blood sugar below 70 mg/dL) is the "15-15 Rule." Consume 15 grams of fast-acting carbohydrates—such as half a cup of fruit juice, a tablespoon of honey, or four glucose tablets. Wait 15 minutes, then check your blood sugar again. If it is still below 70 mg/dL, consume another 15 grams of carbs and repeat the process until your levels stabilize. Once stable, eat a small snack containing protein to keep your levels steady.
