Don't wish to sound harsh but orange juice is just plain useless if you're having a hypo. Most orange juice is UNSWEETENED so you're getting an absolutely minimal sugar hit. If you want to drink something then go for non-diet soft drinks, but to be honest you're best off with glucose tablets because it's pure glucose, discreet and fast. When you're having a hypo, don't pussy-foot around. You need sugar. Who cares if it makes you run a bit high? That's the whole point, as far as I'm concerned.
