Hypoglycemia is when the sugar levels in your blood are low and there is not enough sugar for your body to burn as energy.
Some of the symptoms you may experience could be any of these or a combination of them.

  • Anxiety
  • Disoriented or confused
  • Dizzy
  • Hungry
  • Irritable
  • Palpitations and / or racing pulse
  • Headaches
  • Sweating
  • Feel Hot
  • Trembling or feeling shaky
  • Weak

If left untreated you could experience any one of the following conditions or a combination of them.

  • A numbness in your mouth and tongue
  • Unable to concentrate
  • Poor coordination
  • Faint
  • Have bad dreams or nightmares
  • Become comatose / unconscious

It can happen for several reasons, such as, your diet, the amount of exercise or activity you have had or because of the medications you take. Generally, when the blood sugar level drops to around 70 mg / dl, you will feel the symptoms of hypoglycemia. When the symptoms occur, it is important to note the time at which it occurs, what you ate, what activities you did that day and the amount of medication you took. It is also important to consult your doctor, so that your doctor can adjust your medication or tweak the amount of activity or direct you to a nutritionist, who can help you with the right diet.
