What is the best juice to give to a hypoglycemic diabetic dialysis pt? Taking into consideration the need to avoid high potassium foods, yet having symptomatic hypoglycemia. What is the best option for these pt's whom are not NPO. I have read both orange and apple juice have similar amounts of potassium, and cranberry doesn't seem to have enough sugar. I know milk also contains a fair amount of potassium. I have been in this situation a variety of times and feel unsure of the best option. The facility I work at treats hypoglycemia with PO intake vs. only using dextrose when the pt is NPO or unconscious.
