^You say you eat nuts, almonds and walnuts are the best to help level your glucose.

Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) can be dangerous, you need to get your glucose up fast, especially if it's really low, you can buy glucose pills over the counter, they are chewable, you can have a glass of milk or juice like orange, a tablespoon of honey will work as well.

You should check your glucose to see what your numbers are and if you need to take anything, sometimes you're just hungry and need to eat. If you are low and take something to up your glucose, you need to monitor your glucose levels, take your blood between 15 to 30 minutes after you take something to make sure it going up, if it is, wait another 30 minutes and take it again, if you don't feel well take it earlier and if it won't go up, have someone take you to the hospital, don't drive yourself. Talk to your doctor about a continuous glucose meter, it can help monitor your glucose and tell you when you are low, it will beep. Good luck, I hope this helps.
