In this Hindi‑English health‑education video, Dr. Priti Nanda Sibal explains the "Rule of 15" for treating hypoglycemia, especially in children with type‑1 diabetes. She outlines the step‑by‑step protocol: give 15 g of fast‑acting carbohydrate, re‑check blood glucose after 15 minutes, repeat another 15 g if glucose remains below ~70 mg/dL, and seek medical help if the level does not improve after three attempts. The speaker lists practical 15‑gram options (e.g., 3 teaspoons sugar, 3 tbsp sugar dissolved in water, half a can of juice, honey, sugary drinks, fruit) and stresses the importance of following the rapid‑acting dose with a complex carbohydrate‑protein snack to sustain glucose (examples: sweet lassi, banana sandwich, butter‑banana toast, roti with ghee, jaggery laddoo). She warns that high‑fat foods such as cookies do not raise glucose effectively. The video concludes with preventive tips for parents and caregivers, emphasizing early recognition, proper dosing, and maintaining glucose within the normal range.
