Research Notes on Hypoglycemia
Hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar, is a common condition in people with diabetes. It occurs when glucose levels are too low. Taking too much insulin, waiting too long between meals, not eating enough food, consuming alcohol, or exercising too vigorously without reducing the insulin dose or eating a snack can all cause hypoglycemia. Monitoring blood glucose levels often is the best way to avoid a hypoglycemic attack.1 Fast Facts:
- Symptoms of hypoglycemia include trembling, clammy skin, palpitations, anxiety, sweating, hunger, and irritability.2
- There are two basic approaches to hypoglycemia treatment: immediate treatment to raise the blood sugar level and treatment of the underlying condition.3
- Avoiding the highs and lows in your blood sugar may significantly reduce your risk of hypoglycemia and other diabetes complications.4
