Spring...in that context you are correct. Dr. Bernstein recommends Dextrotabs or glucose gel for cases of moderate to severe hypoglycemia. The idea, though, is to prevent those episodes from happening in the first place by eating correctly. If you are not taking insulin or oral hypoglycemics, people usually respond very well to dietary changes and find that hypoglycemic episodes become very rare and occur only if they have eaten something that they shouldn't have or have skipped a meal.
