ASK THE PATIENT IF THEY HAVE ANY JAM AND BREAD IN THE HOME.
ASK PERMISSION TO MAKE THEM JAM ON TOAST- CARBOHYDRATES HELP IMPROVE BLOOD SUGAR. CONSIDER A DRINK

ASK PATIENT TO EAT THE FOOD AND CHECK THE BLOOD SUGARS AGAIN.
- IF IMPROVED BUT STILL LOW CONSIDER A 2ND TUBE OF ORAL GEL (MAKE SURE IT HAS BEEN 15 MINUTES).
