  Hypoglycemia is a condition that occurs when the supply of glucose in the body declines. Doctors often fail to recognise hypoglycemia and patients keeps suffering from it. You need to understand the symptoms of this condition and visit a doctor who can provide excellent treatment for hypoglycemia. Search online to find an expert doctor in your area.

  
  

  Hypoglycemia is a term medically used to define low blood sugar levels. Glucose, the simplest form of sugar is used by cells to fuel them. The main work of our digestive system is to convert the food we eat into a powerful fuel that helps the cells to work in a proper manner.

  
  

  Hypoglycemia occurs when the supply of the glucose starts to decline. The symptoms of this condition are quite clear. The patient starts to feel anxious and shaky, inability to focus properly and will get tired sooner. The patients also feel more thirsty and hungry than before. If these symptoms are ignored, then a person might get blurred vision and start sweating profusely.

  
  

  The results could be quite severe if a diabetic person ignores hypoglycemia as it can result in coma, seizures or even death. But this only happens in extreme cases and with patients who are suffering from untreated diabetes type 1. These situations might also occur if too much insulin is taken by a type 2 diabetic.

  
  

  The Grouch Effect/Factor

  
  

  Hypoglycemia mainly just results in making you grouch. If you haven’t eaten for a long time, then there are high chances that you may wake up grouchy in the morning. In the middle of the afternoon or before lunch you may feel grouchy, sleepy, tired and unable to concentrate properly.

  
  

  Hypoglycemia quickly affects the brain in a negative way. The brain does not make or store glucose. Therefore it is highly sensitive and highly reactive to low blood sugar levels faster compared to any other part of the body.

  
  

  How Hypoglycemia Occurs in People who don’t have Diabetes?

  
  

  No one actually has any idea about the whole condition. It occurs and disappears and the toughest part is to convince your doctor that you are suffering from it. Doctors usually consider this condition only if the level of blood sugar is below 50. Many people, who have the symptoms of hypoglycemia, do not fit the criteria set by doctors. The effects of this condition can show up easily, even with a level of blood sugar closer to 70.

  
  

  One of the reasons for the occurrence of non-diabetics hypoglycemia might be overreaction of the pancreas due to excess sugar or carbohydrates. If excess insulin is released by the beta cells into the blood, then the glucose is transferred which leaves low blood sugar level. This is when the symptoms of the condition start appearing.

  
  

  Steps You Can Take:

  
  

  There are a number of people who suffer from hypoglycemia and have found different ways to feel and live better. Some of these are:

  
  

  
  
  • Eat more frequently in small quantities. This ensures that the pancreas do not release too much insulin. It ensures that you do not feel grouchy anymore.
  
  
  • Ensure that you do not eat meals which are made completely from carbohydrates. You can add some protein, fibre and fats to decrease the digestion rate of the carbohydrates.
  
  
  • Before exercising, you should eat something that contains proteins and carbohydrates.
  
  
  • Avoid drinking sodas with high level of sugar.
