Doctors named the causes of low blood sugar

A sharp drop in blood sugar is dangerous for health, and the body gives preliminary signals before this change. Doctors named the cause of hypoglycemia and ways to prevent it.

An abnormally low level of glucose in the blood manifests itself with a lack of energy, when the body cannot perform even everyday tasks. In this case, we are talking about dangerous consequences for health. The main symptoms of hypoglycemia are hunger, sweating, tremors and chills against the background of confusion and loss of concentration. Sometimes a person may lose consciousness. There are signs that appear in a dream: excessive sweating, sleep disturbances, confusion upon awakening. Another symptom is feeling tired after a long sleep. The cause of hypoglycemia in diabetics is recognized as excess release of insulin from the body after oral medication. This process must be controlled.

Hypoglycemia without diabetes is extremely rare. This ailment manifests itself when the pancreas produces too much insulin after a large meal. The same applies to overweight patients and people who have undergone gastric bypass surgery. In such cases, chocolate, banana or sweet fruit juice will help. Next, you need to eat a sandwich to provide the body with carbohydrates. An injection of the glucagon hormone helps with loss of consciousness, which will provide a sharp increase in blood sugar and bring a person to consciousness. At the same time, self-medication is dangerous, in all cases you should seek medical help.
