  Diabetic hypoglycemia occurs when someone with diabetes doesn’t have enough sugar (glucose) in his or her blood. Glucose is the main source of fuel for the body and brain, so you can’t function well if you don’t have enough. […] For many people, low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) is a blood sugar level below 70 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL), or 3.9 millimoles per liter (mmol/L). […] Pay attention to the early warning signs of hypoglycemia and treat low blood sugar promptly. […] Initial signs and symptoms of diabetic hypoglycemia include: Looking pale (pallor), Shakiness, Dizziness or lightheadedness, Sweating, Hunger or nausea, An irregular or fast heartbeat, Difficulty concentrating, Feeling weak and having no energy (fatigue), Irritability or anxiety, Headache, Tingling or numbness of the lips, tongue or cheek.

  Since each person can experience the feelings of low blood glucose differently, there are a variety of symptoms that can be associated with a low. These signs and symptoms of a dropping blood glucose level can develop quickly. […] These symptoms are caused by the release of the fight-or-flight hormone called epinephrine (adrenaline). It is the release of adrenaline that causes the symptoms of low blood glucose such as thumping heart, sweating, tingling, and anxiety. […] Common signs and symptoms of low blood glucose include feeling shaky, being nervous or anxious, sweating, chills, and clamminess, irritability or impatience, confusion, fast heartbeat, feeling lightheaded or dizzy, hunger, nausea, color draining from the skin (pallor), feeling sleepy, feeling weak or having no energy, blurred/impaired vision, tingling or numbness in the lips, tongue, or cheeks, headaches, coordination problems or clumsiness, nightmares or crying out during sleep, and in some cases: seizures.

  Hypoglycemia is often defined by a plasma glucose concentration below 70 mg/dL; however, signs and symptoms may not occur until plasma glucose concentrations drop below 55 mg/dL. […] The symptoms of Whipple’s triad have been used to describe hypoglycemia since 1938. For Whipple’s triad, the practitioner must first recognize symptoms of hypoglycemia, then obtain low blood glucose, and finally, demonstrate immediate relief of symptoms by correcting the low blood glucose with glucose treatment. […] Hypoglycemia is most often seen in patients who have diabetes and are undergoing pharmacologic intervention. Among this group, patients with type 1 diabetes are 3 times as likely to experience hypoglycemia than patients with type 2 diabetes when receiving treatment. […] The clinical manifestations of hypoglycemia can be classified as either neuroglycopenic or neurogenic. Neuroglycopenic signs and symptoms are signs and symptoms that result from direct central nervous system (CNS) deprivation of glucose. These include behavioral changes, confusion, fatigue, seizure, coma, and potential death if not immediately corrected.

  Glucose, the primary type of sugar in the blood, is the main source of energy for the body and the brain. When blood glucose is low, the body doesnt have the fuel to function the right way. If blood glucose drops really low, the person is not able to function because physical and mental changes occur. They can have seizures or become unconscious. […] Hypoglycemia is the medical term used when the amount of glucose (sugar) in someones blood is lower than 70 mg/dL, with symptoms and signs noted above. […] Hypoglycemia can be mild, moderate, or severe based on the persons blood glucose and condition. Here are the levels: Level 1 (mild) hypoglycemia: Blood glucose is less than 70 mg/dL but is 54 mg/dL or higher. Level 2 (moderate) hypoglycemia: Blood glucose is less than 54 mg/dL. Level 3 (severe) hypoglycemia: A person is unable to function because of mental or physical changes due to low blood glucose. They need help from another person.

  Most cases of severe hypoglycemia occur in people with diabetes who take insulin or certain diabetes medications like sulfonylureas. Severe hypoglycemia is more common in people with type 1 diabetes since they take multiple injections of insulin daily, but it can also happen in people with type 2 diabetes, especially in those that take insulin. […] If hypoglycemia is not corrected right away, it can quickly worsen. You may become very confused and unable to manage your condition. In severe cases, you may even lose consciousness, have a seizure, or go into a coma or die. […] Severe hypoglycemia is an emergency. Treatment focuses on raising the persons blood glucose quickly with a medicine called glucagon. […] Glucagon helps raise a persons blood glucose level when it has dropped to dangerous levels. At this point, the person cannot eat or drink anything to help raise their blood glucose.

Over time, repeated severe episodes, such as with loss of consciousness or seizures, can lead to impaired brain function.

• #1 Hypoglycemia – Symptoms and causes – Mayo Clinic

  https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/hypoglycemia/symptoms-causes/syc-20373685

  Hypoglycemia occurs when your blood sugar (glucose) level falls too low for bodily functions to continue. […] The most common reason for low blood sugar is a side effect of medications used to treat diabetes. […] Hypoglycemia usually occurs when you haven’t eaten, but not always. Sometimes hypoglycemia symptoms occur after certain meals, but exactly why this happens is uncertain. […] This type of hypoglycemia, called reactive hypoglycemia or postprandial hypoglycemia, can occur in people who have had surgeries that interfere with the usual function of the stomach. […] Over time, repeated episodes of hypoglycemia can lead to hypoglycemia unawareness. The body and brain no longer produce signs and symptoms that warn of a low blood sugar, such as shakiness or irregular heartbeats (palpitations). When this happens, the risk of severe, life-threatening hypoglycemia increases.

  Hypoglycemia unawareness is when you do not have the early symptoms of low blood glucose. Being unaware of low blood glucose is a common occurrence, especially in people who have had type 1 diabetes for more than 5 to 10 years, and it can be dangerous. When you have hypoglycemia unawareness, you are not alerted to hypoglycemia during the early stages, and severe signs of low blood glucose (such as passing out or seizures) are more likely. […] Nocturnal hypoglycemia — Low blood glucose that occurs when you are sleeping (called nocturnal hypoglycemia) can disrupt sleep but often goes unrecognized. Nocturnal hypoglycemia is a form of hypoglycemia unawareness. Thus, if you have nocturnal hypoglycemia, you are less likely to have symptoms that alert you to the need for treatment. Nocturnal hypoglycemia can be difficult to diagnose and can increase the risk of hypoglycemia unawareness in the 48 to 72 hours that follow.
