Appropriate beverages

A beverage that has sugar would bring blood sugar up. Orange juice, apple juice or any non-diet soda would do that.

I don't know. It really depends on what your blood sugar levels are. If you're in the 60's and 70's, then sipping on them as they are or diluting them, should be ok but I think you should test to make sure you know what your blood sugar is. A full glass at that time might make the levels unstable as they will end up bouncing.

If your blood sugar is really higher than that, then it's not a hypo and maybe the juice would raise the blood sugar too much and make it yo-yo, too, so be ready to test.

Actually, your blood sugar seems to be perfectly normal according to what you wrote! So, it would seem that sipping on some kind of beverage could hold you over if you can't eat anything. If you're on the thin side, maybe one of those nutrition drinks would work but you'd need to check them out for gluten, dairy and soy.

I guess your blood sugar might go 'low' at times and maybe make you feel tired and that's why it's good you recognize this and head it off before it becomes too much of a problem.

And you don't want to overkill either because in some people the blood sugar would spike high and then crash down (yo-yo) and that's not good for you. So, if you're hovering around the 70's, then sipping a beverage or sucking on a hard candy might be ok.

I only drink orange juice when I am really low between 2-3, I guess that is the stubborn part of me
