What happens when blood sugar is low?

Answer 1

Low blood sugar can be quite serious. It is a common complication faced by diabetics. Symptoms of low blood sugar can be flushing, sweating, weakness, confusion, and unconsciousness. It must be treated immediately to avoid the potential of death. Treatment can be affected by the consumption of glucose gels or tabs, or something as simple as drinking 8 ounces of milk, juice, sugared soft drink, or any beverage containing sugar.

Hi!!

When your blood sugar is low you may have symptoms like fainting, Shaking, drowsy, sweating, blurred vision, headache, sudden hunger, increased heartbeat. These symptoms are found at early stage of Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). If left untreated brain begins to lack glucose and person may have symptoms of confusion, personality change, slurred speech, poor concentration and coordination. If still left untreated person may go into coma or develop seizures.

Hope I have answered your question.

Answer 3

That's called Hypoglycemia and from experience of being a type 1 diabetic and sometimes if I take too much insulin I get really weak, sometimes if it's too low it's hard to stand and walk. Shakiness is normally the first symptom. Drowsiness can be not alway. Confusion, and that is where it gets dangerous because that can mean that the person is getting dangerously close to a diabetic coma, which can take minutes, hours, days, months, years, to come out of, sometimes never. If blood sugar levels drop below 60 that is getting really dangerous. I've had mine at just over 50 after waking up and it's a pretty scary experience.

Hope this helps, best of luck.
