Hello,
Taking glucose tablet is sufficient to raise your blood sugar levels but you should consult your doctor to know the cause of low blood sugar.If you are a known diabetic and are on anti diabetic medications,then you need to lower the dose so as to avoid hypoglycemia.It is very essential to avoid hypoglycemic attacks as they can be fatal.
Thanks
