1. Once the child's blood sugar has increased, the child should immediately eat something that contains a protein.
2. Foods and beverages with simple sugars will temporarily increase the blood glucose level and are good for emergency situations.
3. Water lacks the protein and complex carbohydrates needed to help decrease the blood sugar levels.
4. Foods and beverages with simple sugars will temporarily increase blood glucose and are good for emergency situations.
