When your blood sugar is low (), you get hunger cravings because your body wants sugar. You may feel like eating everything in the house but your body needs is a certain amount of glucose to bring your sugar levels back to normal.

The best way to reduce the hypo hunger cravings is to get your blood glucose levels back in your target range using the rule of 15.

The 15–15 rule—have 15 grams of carbohydrate to raise your blood sugar levels and check it after 15 minutes. If it’s still below 70 mg/dL, have another serving. Repeat these steps until your blood sugar is at least 70 mg/dL.

Most glucose tablets contain about 3-4 grams of carbohydrate and so it is recommended to take 3 to 4 glucose tablets to raise blood sugar levels. Test your blood sugar levels after 15 minutes to see how your blood sugar levels have responded.
