Rule of 15. 15 grams of simple carbs (OJ, dextrose, etc.), wait 15 minutes, then take their blood glucose again.
You can also use glucagon in more acute settings.
Any patient on insulin in the hospital automatically has a hypoglycemia protocol added to their plan in order to prevent lows, which are more dangerous than highs.
