Hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar, occurs when the level of sugar in the blood drops below normal levels. This can happen in people with diabetes if they take too much insulin or diabetes medication, skip meals, or engage in intense exercise without eating enough. Symptoms of hypoglycemia may include feeling shaky or dizzy, sweating, hunger, confusion, and irritability. In serious cases, hypoglycemia can lead to fainting or seizures. Treatment usually involves consuming a fast-acting source of glucose, such as fruit juice, candy, or glucose tablets, to raise blood sugar levels quickly. It is important for people with diabetes to monitor their blood sugar levels regularly and carry snacks or glucose tablets to treat hypoglycemia quickly if it occurs.
