<unk>  can usually be relieved by dietary changes: * Avoiding or limiting sugar intake, including candy, sweet desserts, fruit juice, and drinks with added sugar. * Eating only small amounts of starchy foods, including potatoes, pasta, breakfast cereals, and rice. * Eating a variety of foods, including: * eggs, nuts, dairy products, tofu, beans, lentils, meat, poultry, fish, or other sources of protein with every meal or snack, * whole-grain carbohydrates, such as eating whole wheat bread instead of white bread, and * more fruits and vegetables (but not fruit juice), with 5 A Day being a recommended goal for most people. * Eating more high-fiber foods, such as lentils, beans, pulses (legumes), leafy greens, and most fruits and vegetables. Other tips to prevent sugar crashes include: * Exercising regularly, as exercise increases cellular sugar uptake, which decreases excessive insulin release. * Avoiding eating meals or snacks composed entirely of carbohydrates; simultaneously ingest fats and proteins, which have slower rates of absorption; * Consistently choosing longer lasting, complex carbohydrates to prevent rapid blood-sugar dips in the event that one does consume a disproportionately large amount of carbohydrates with a meal; * Monitoring any effects medication may have on symptoms. Low-carbohydrate diet and/or frequent small meals is the first treatment of this condition. The first important point is to add small meals at the middle of the morning and of the afternoon, when glycemia would start to decrease. If adequate composition of the meal is found, the fall in blood glucose is thus prevented. Patients should avoid rapidly absorbed sugars and thus avoid popular soft drinks rich in glucose or sucrose. They should also be cautious with drinks associating sugar and alcohol, mainly in the fasting state. As it is a short-term ailment, a sugar crash that was not caused by injecting too much insulin does not usually require medical intervention in most people. The most important factors to consider when addressing this issue are the composition and timing of foods. Acute (short-term) low blood sugar symptoms are best treated by consuming small amounts of sweet foods, so as to regain balance in the body's carbohydrate metabolism. Suggestions include sugary foods that are quickly digested, such as: * Dried fruit * Soft drinks * Juice * Sugar as sweets, tablets or cubes. The anti-hypertensive class of medication known as calcium channel blockers could be useful for<unk>  as inhibition of the calcium channels on beta islet cells can help prevent an overproduction of insulin after a meal is eaten.
