Most of the people I know that has diabetes are always careful with what they eat or sugar might shoot up. Little do we all know is that, it is far dangerous to have a very low blood sugar than a high one.
Hypoglycemia is the level of sugar in the blood that is below 60 mg/dl. This occurs when the blood sugar level is too low. It is also called insulin shock or insulin reaction. It may happen any time but more likely at peak times of insulin actions like increased activity, or late eating, or reduce the amount that you eat.
People with diabetes have different symptoms and respond differently to treatment. For some, they have symptoms when their blood sugar level is too low and are very dependent on blood sugar testing to find out. While others, their symptoms appear at once. It is better to know and be aware of how you feel when your blood sugar is very low to prevent hypoglycaemia.
