Pancreatic cancer usually begins in the cells that produce the juices. Some risk factors for developing pancreatic cancer include.
If your blood sugar drops too low, you can have a low blood sugar reaction, called hypoglycemia. A low blood sugar reaction can come on fast. It is caused by taking too much insulin, missing a meal, delaying a meal, exercising too much, or drinking too much alcohol.
The most common cause of low blood sugar is too much of a blood sugar lowering medication; or a change in the circumstances surrounding the use of the medication. If you take too much insulin, you will go low. If you take the right amount of insulin and then eat less than you planned, you will go low.
