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 havent
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 dont 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.
