What is hypoglycemia?

Low blood sugar levels. This can be fatal as the brain depends on sugar for energy. It is usually caused by diabetes medications, but can also be caused by hormone disorders and insulin overproduction.

  • Cold sweats

  • Feel the heart is pounding

  • Fine tremor of the hands and fingers

  • My brain is not functioning right now

  • Fatigue

  • Nausea or vomiting

  • Taking insulin or other diabetic drugs

Questions your doctor may ask to check for hypoglycemia

Your doctor may ask these questions to diagnose hypoglycemia

  • Do your symptoms improve when you eat?

  • Do you have cold sweats?

  • Do you feel your heart is pounding?

  • Do you have a slight trembling of your fingers?

  • Do you have problems focusing or a reduced sense of awareness in your surroundings?

Treatment for hypoglycemia

This condition is first managed by consuming sugar quickly - options include candy, honey, table sugar, or sweet drinks. In severe cases where a patient is unconscious, a sugar-containing drip can be given via a needle in the vein. It is important to find the reason for low blood sugar, to prevent it from happening again.
