you don't have to have an order to give a patient juice unless they are NPO or clear liquid, and even then they can have certain juices.... I've worked in the hospital with nurses for a year. juice will help that's why I said to eat peanut butter after you drink it. my sister is hypoglycemic and that's what the doctor told her.

@lrmartin21, exactly!! and light juices like Apple are better then dark ones like cranberry and grape.

Yeah I know juice is good if you are very low but not a go to to stabilize glucose during the day. It brings your sugar up quickly but it will also make it drop quickly after if you don't get protein or carbs in your body

I'm hypoglycemic I've been through the classes to know better and plus I'm an EMT I treat it all the time. as a nurse you need orders for that shit.. haha

it's not going to help all day she needs breads and pasta carbs to help maintain her sugars.. she is not asking about something that's going to help "right now" concentrated juice isn't good for anyone to drink constantly. if she wants to maintain her sugars she beds carbs

yes juice does help because of the sugar, I am almost done with nursing school and we just learned this. the first thing you give a patient who is hypoglycemic is juice.

juice dosnt help because of all the sugars in it

you should eat 6 small meals a day I'm hypoglycemic and not pregnant and things like peanut butter crackers peanuts protein bars and I'd say stuck to water juice is going to go through your system fast I'd stick to water only

juices, candy bars, peanut butter, are some things that will get it up. Drink juice or eat something sugary then eat peanut butter & it will help to stabilize the blood sugar.
