Do hard candies for low blood sugar work?

Eating hard candy during a hypoglycemic episode is useful. Hypoglycemia is caused by plasma glucose falling below normal, there can be palpitations, hunger, sweating, tremor, weakness, and even mental changes and other symptoms, once the symptoms of hypoglycemia need to be supplemented with sugar-containing foods, such as candies, cookies, chocolates, etc., and comatose patients can be treated by intravenous infusion of glucose. Therefore, eating hard candy during hypoglycemic episodes has a certain role. Dieting should be avoided in daily life and regular eating habits should be maintained to help avoid hypoglycemia; if symptoms of hypoglycemia recur or cannot be relieved after oral intake of sugary foods it is recommended to go to the hospital.
