This is when the blood sugar is lower than the normal state.

When the body is in this state then many organs are not receiving enough fuel supply

Typically blood levels show between 70-150mg/dL but some argue that number could include the 60s

Abnormal or hypoglycmia levels are typically below 70mg/dL

However, some individuals may be lower than 70mg/dL and not have any symptoms.  Without symptoms some argue that they, therefore, shouldn’t be classified as having hypoglycemia.

Therefore – percise explanation of hypoglycemia is still under debate.

Symptoms:

   -    Decrease function
   -    Shakiness
   -    Weakness
   -    Fatigue
   -    Anxiety
   -    Confusion
   -    Hunger
   -    Nausea
   -    Headache
   -    Vision changes
   -    Seizures
   -    Coma
   -    Brain damage

Causes:

   -    Diabetes
   -    Growth problems in an infant
   -    Sepsis
   -    Certain medications
   -    Hypopituitarism
   -    Excess Insulin        (cancer, genetic changes, enzyme problems, metabolic disease, surgery, etc.)

Diabetic induced Hypoglycemia is somewhat interesting in that typically the reason for the hypoglycemia is due to excess mediction or insulin.

This may pose as more serious symptoms and more serious prognosis.

The blood sugar “range” may not apply in the same way as someone who’s cause is not medication related.

Treatment:

-     Carbohydrate    (Eating, drinking of juices)
-     Starch
.         Dextrose   (intravenously given)
.         Glucagon   (intramuscular injection)

Hypoglycemia means “under-sweat blood“
