Background Diabetes is a disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin. Insulin is a hormone that is needed to convert sugar, starches and other food into energy needed for daily life. The cause of diabetes continues to be a mystery, although both genetics and environmental factors such as obesity and lack of exercise appear to play roles. Approximately 17 million people in the United States, or 6.2% of the population, have diabetes. While an estimated 11.1 million have been diagnosed, unfortunately, 5.9 million people (or one-third) are unaware that they have the disease. Hypoglycemia or low blood glucose (sugar) is one of diabetes common problems. Hypoglycemia happens from time to time to everyone who has diabetes. Hypoglycemia, sometimes called an insulin reaction, can happen even during those times when you're doing all you can to manage your diabetes. So, although many times you can't prevent it from happening, hypoglycemia (low blood glucose) can be treated before it gets worse. Causes of Hypoglycemia: Too much insulin or oral
medication More exercise or activity
than usual Skipping or delaying meals
or snacks, or eating less food than usualWhat are the symptoms of hypoglycemia? Shakiness Dizziness Sweating Hunger Headache Pale skin color Sudden moodiness or
behavior changes, such as crying for no apparent reason Clumsy or jerky movements
Seizure Difficulty paying
attention, or confusion Tingling sensations around
the mouth
