Hypoglycemia

Hypoglycemia is a medical term which is referred to a pathologic condition that is produced by the levels of sugar i.e. glucose, lower than normal, in the blood. The term hypoglycemia plainly refers to “low blood sugar”. In simple we can define hypoglycemia as an abnormally low level of glucose in the blood.

The levels of glucose in healthy persons changes depending very much on the length of fasting. As the blood glucose levels changes greatly in the healthy subjects and the hypoglycemia symptoms are indistinct and imprecise, establishing the hypoglycemia diagnosis as the cause of symptoms is often complicated. When hypoglycemia occurs along with familiar blood glucose below 45 mg/dl, and the symptoms rapidly resolve with the administration of the glucose, the analysis can be made with more certainty. Hypoglycemia may produce a range of symptoms and effects but the major complications arise from an extremely insufficient glucose supply as fuel for the brain, which results in mutilation of function. Function Derangements can range from indistinctly “feeling bad” to coma and rarely to death. Hypoglycemia may arise from many factors, and can occur at any age.
