glucose tablets

i read some of you talking about glucose tablets.  my dad has had his sugar drop a lot, since his surgery 2 years ago.  anway, he got some tablets, but it doesnt say how many to take, or if you take one, wait, take another one.... any suggestions???
thanks!

It's typically take 1 and wait 10 mins I believe then another.. Obviously if it's super low you need something quicker. Always try and find a way to follow them up with some kind of protein though.

Cassie,

I kind of experimented and now I know that it normally takes 3 of them for me to start feeling normal again. It all depends on how long it's been since I've eaten on if I go on a protein hunt or not. The best solution though is to avoid the low sugars if possible. For me, when my system is working normally, that means for me to avoid white potatoes, corn, peas, and anything else that is a high starch.

thanks! my dad just didnt know.  he can usually get it under control, but we were just trying the tablets.... he did try 3 right back to back and he said it made his heart feel jumpy...  i told him i thought he took too much in a row, and should have waited!!! thanks for all the help everyone...

and as for me, i am feeling ok.  i was finally able to eat last night and i had a piece of pork chop!!! i was excited! i have been able to eat today, i am still working on trying to get my protein and pills in.  i keep trying.  i hopefully will get it all in one of these days!!! :)

thanks again
