Is it okay to eat sugar when you suddenly have low blood sugar?

Patient's question:

Because of a certain illness, I have been unable to stop taking medication for a long time. Due to the medication, my endocrine system has been affected. Now I want to stop taking the medication and regulate my body. Is it okay to eat sugar if I suddenly have low blood sugar?

Doctor's answer:

Symptoms of hypoglycemia include weakness in the limbs, dizziness, and sweating profusely. If hypoglycemia occurs again, you can take some sugar orally to relieve it. You can also drink some sugary water. If you don't like breakfast and it causes hypoglycemia, you should take your three meals on time and in proper quantity to prevent hypoglycemia. Eat more high-sugar foods and fruits to meet the body's needs, and go to the hospital for a thorough examination to understand the level of your blood sugar.
