When your blood sugar was tested...


There are some typical symptoms of hypoglycemia that you should be aware of in order to take immediate measures and prevent serious problems (like death for example). Most common symptoms include anxiety, Nervousness, irritability, shakiness, etc.  

However, I can admit that reaction to such low sugar level varies in different individuals. So, I always advise my diabetic patients to keep a glucometer with them in order to measure blood sugar anytime they might feel an unusual symptom. 

Apart diabetics, the non-diabetic persons can also experience dangerously low blood sugar level due to insulin reaction/shock. A  normal and healthy individual can start having hypoglycemia symptoms even if the blood sugar (bs) can be higher than 70 mg/dL. This can happen when bs starts getting down very quickly.


It is important to catch the symptoms in time in order to get it treated immediately:

1. Immediately take your glucose tables (around 20 grams). If do not keep glucose tablets with you, can consume two tablespoons of raisins or hard candies  or gum drops. 

2. Should measure your bs again after fifteen minutes of taking the sugary candy

3. If bs will get back to normal again, then, continue consuming a small snack, but not a regular meal. 

4. In case, bs will persist low, then, should take the sugary candy again until complete normalization. 

Get more details on specific causes to such dangerously low blood sugar levels as following: fasting, after eating and due to medications and how to prevent hypoglycemia episodes.
