Understanding Hypoglycemia: Know the causes and effective ways to manage low blood sugar
Hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar, occurs when glucose levels fall below 70 mg/dL, critically affecting brain function and metabolism. Symptoms range from shakiness to confusion, often caused by diabetes medications, alcohol, hormonal imbalances, or severe illnesses. Early recognition and prompt intervention with fast-acting carbohydrates are vital to prevent serious neurological damage and life-threatening complications.
