A nurse is caring for a client who has type 1 diabetes mellitus and observes mild hand tremors. Which of the following snacks should the nurse offer the client after obtaining a glucometer reading of 60 mg/dL?

A. 6 oz of milk: Contains some carbohydrate but provides slower-acting lactose and typically less than the recommended 15–20 g of fast-acting carbohydrate. B. One to two oral glucose tablets: Most glucose tablets provide about 4 g each, so 1–2 tablets usually supply too little carbohydrate for adequate immediate treatment. C. Three to four pieces of hard candy: May provide a rapid source of sugar and could be appropriate depending on the candy size, but amounts are variable. D. 4 oz of regular soda: Provides about 15 g of simple carbohydrate and is a reliable, fast-acting treatment for mild hypoglycemia (blood glucose 60 mg/dL).
