Hello Anon
Thank you for writing.
Glucose is a type of sugar (carbohydrate). It is the body's main source of fuel. When the level of glucose in the blood becomes too low, it is called hypoglycemia. If the glucose levels are too low the body can not function properly. Levels below 60 can indicate low blood sugar - hypoglycemia.
Symptoms of low blood sugar can be relieved quickly by:
Eating sugar in a rapidly absorbable form, such as:
Fruit
Fruit juice
Sugared soft drink
Table sugar in water
Candy
Taking glucose tablets
IV glucose (in severe cases)
Please talk to your doctor about treatment.
Best,
