Signs That You Have Low Blood Sugar (Hypoglycemia)

Low blood sugar, also known as hypoglycemia, is a clinical situation characterized by a reduced blood glucose level, which may lead to a multitude of signs and symptoms. Normal fasting blood glucose level is between 70 to 100 milligrams per deciliter. The precise glucose level at which an individual with hypoglycemia becomes symptomatic is highly variable, although a plasma glucose level below 50 milligrams per deciliter is considered to be the threshold. Nevertheless, hypoglycemia is extremely fatal, and may lead to death within a matter of time.
Causes of hypoglycemia are varied. However, it is seen most often in diabetic patients. Major causes of hypoglycemia include the following. Medication overdose, especially anti diabetic medications such as insulin. Infections. Alcohol intake. Dietary changes that restrict glucose intake. Metabolic changes. Activity changes. Prolonged fasting. Insulin secreting tumors such as insulinomas.
Gastrointestinal problems. Bariatric surgery. And liver disease. In some cases though, there is no identifiable cause for hypoglycemia.
Following are the most common signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia. Altered mental status. Headache. Anxiety. Nausea and vomiting. Fatigue. Sweating. Increased heart rate.
Extreme hunger. Dizziness. Decreased ability to concentrate. And blurred vision.

My brother has type I diabetes and his hypoglycemic state makes him act crazy and psychotic. He thrashes about and becomes violent. It’s been that way since he was diagnosed 20 years ago. The worst part is when he’s uncooperative and lets it get that low, despite having the new Libre patch. It’s really put an unnecessary stress on the whole family, especially us younger siblings. 😔

pov; you have all common signs including fainting. Worse part that shocked is that it could lead to death.

History of My Problems

About January of 2023 I passed out while waiting for a taxi at the Plaza del Sol Mall in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Just prior to losing consciousness I had walked about ½ block in the hot Sun which made me feel very weak.

I think I was out for just a few seconds. When I came to there was a crowd around me trying to help me. I felt 100% weak but no pain. I had a tremendous urge to sh*t my pants which I did not have before but happily I was able to restrain myself. This urge passed after maybe 10 minutes.

The people helped me to get up and sit in a chair. I could not stand or walk. (Thank you, my nice PR neighbors!)

They called an ambulance which took me to the VA Hospital in San Juan at my request. I am classified as a 100% disabled Vietnam veteran due to PTSD, hearing loss and agent orange exposure. (actually shell shock, I was knocked out by explosion 3 or 4 times.)

The VA hospital was air conditioned and I became terribly cold. Really terribly cold. I told the VA staff about this and requested extra blankets but they did not furnish any or even explain why they wouldn't.

After about an hour of suffering from the cold a doctor talked to me and he likewise ignored my request for more blankets. I asked him if he would discharge me. I told him I wanted to go home and warm up. He said OK and I was deposited at the hospital entrance where I lingered in the nice hot Sun for about 15 minutes to regain my strength then I called a cab and went home.

THE SECOND TIME I PASSED OUT.

I was at the San Patricio Mall in San Juan getting a haircut and I was feeling OK. Afterwards the barber gave me a piece of hard candy that was basically pure sugar and I ate it. Big Mistake. Very soon I felt myself getting very weak just like the previous pass out time and I had the urge again to sh*t. I asked the barber shop people if I could use their bathroom. I entered the bathroom and tried to sh*t but produced nothing.

I felt myself getting much weaker so I laid down on the floor so that if I passed out at least I would not fall and crack my skull.

After about 10 minutes the barber shop people asked through the closed door if I were OK. I asked them to call an ambulance and they did. I did not actually pass out this time but only because I had the sense to lay down.

The ambulance took me to the VA hospital and it was basically a replay of the previous trip to the VA hospital. I was very cold and asked for extra blankets but they neither furnished any nor did they say why they wouldn't.

A doctor asked me some questions and also ignored my request for extra blankets. I asked to be discharged and she said OK. After warming up in the Sun outside I called a cab and went home.

The next time I almost passed out was about a month later when I called a cab to go to the mall for shopping. I was feeling OK and I took a big drag of marijuana. That was a big mistake. When it was time to meet the cab outside I started walking to the front of the building to meet it. I felt weakness overcome me very rapidly and I laid down because I knew I would pass out for sure.

The cab pulled up and I told the driver I was having a medical emergency and told him to cancel the ride. He took off and I laid there for about five minutes in the warm Sun and I was slowly feeling better. My landlady appeared and she summoned a neighbor who understands English which she does not.

I told them not to call an ambulance because I was terrified of going to the air conditioned VA hospital. I told them to help me back to my room which they did and after a few hours I was more or less OK again.

Currently, I feel very weak all the time. I don’t get dizzy but if I walk very much or try to carry groceries for example I start to get weak and feel like passing out which I prevent by lying down.

If I stand up real quick I feel terrible lose my balance so I stand up very slowly. This condition also affected me after I returned from Vietnam but abated when I stopped eating junk food and started exercising and stopped drinking like a fish.

My appetite is very low. My right arm hurts as does the right side of my neck and lower right back. I don’t smoke tobacco but I do smoke pot which seems to be harmless but drains my walking batteries so to speak so I don't smoke it unless I’m home and never before I go shopping. I did not drink a single drop of alcohol during all this time.

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH ME?

I’m 76 years old. I’m about 20 lbs overweight. I don't exercise except for walking when shopping. I almost pass out when carrying groceries.

Sugar, smoking pot and physical exertion all induce weakness. Sugar is easy to avoid and I've cut back on marijuana but I must go to the store for food. I can only walk about 100 yards before I must sit down and rest.

I am terrified of going to the VA because the cold air makes things worse.

If anyone has advice please tell me what you think.

When I got my braces installed i couldnt eat properly at all, only surviving off of mushy foods which made me have no energy. One night my sugar dropped so low that i felt like puking from food and both my legs started shaking-stopping-shaking-stopping, followed by my torso. So since my dad is a diabetic and my mom a nurse, they knew what to do thankfuly. I got cold as my sugar was rising from sugary drinks. My sugar had dropped to around 2
Note:I have NO diabetes

Great video! I'm wondering, how long did it take for you to see results with Sugar Balance?

[alexisplaysroblox]

So, not a diabetic but have a friend who has type 1. I'm not active a lot, but I still am sometimes. I was running around playing soccer with my family and I haven't eaten since like maybe an hour ago? And when I was one I felt sick, weak, tired, had a headache, and was hot. I had some gummies and I felt better. I'm not sure if this was the cause.

[random_gamer_guy]

I've just found out I'm borderline low blood sugar diabetic, I've no idea what it means. I had it in my head not enough sugar, what a rabbit hole I've fell down. Apparently I've to much carbohydrates in my diet. 😞

[TributeMackAngrierMack]

I have Diabetes and I had hypoglycemia more than once but I get it when I don’t eat.

[murraypooley]

I am a carnivour with A1c at 4.8, and consume zero carbs except a tiny ammont in cheeze, less than 1 gram per day. My blood sugar level can sometimes go as high as 99 during the day and briefly low to 54 overnight. I have no problem with this, I have great energy levels, getting my energy from ketons 24/7. When I eat a meal glucose immediatly trends down.
