Overview

Hypoglycemia is a condition that occurs when the body has a lower-than-normal level of blood sugar (glucose). It is a common complication of diabetes, but can also be caused by certain medications, or conditions such as too much exercise. If left untreated, hypoglycemia can lead to seizures, coma, and even death. Symptoms of hypoglycemia include shakiness, sweating, dizziness, headache, and confusion. Treatment usually involves eating or drinking foods that contain sugar. It is important to recognize and understand the warning signs of hypoglycemia so that treatment can be provided before it becomes dangerous. Understanding how to prevent and manage hypoglycemia can help make diabetes treatment more successful and improve quality of life for individuals with this condition.
