Hypoglycemia
is a medical term that refers to a pathological condition caused by blood sugar (glucose) levels lower than normal. The term hypoglycemia means "hypoglycemia".
Hypoglycemia can cause a variety of symptoms and effects, but the main problem is that glucose is not enough to provide fuel to the brain, leading to dysfunction. Functional disruption ranges from vague "feeling unwell" to coma and (rarely) death. Hypoglycemia can come from a variety of reasons and can occur at any age. The most common form of moderate and severe hypoglycemia is the use of insulin or oral medications to treat true complications of diabetes.

Studies of healthy adults have shown that in many people, blood levels below 65 mg/dl will cause a slight decrease in mental efficiency, but it is measurable. For most people, the hormonal defense mechanisms of adrenaline and glucagon are activated below the threshold level of about 55 mg/dl, causing typical tremors and discomfort symptoms.
On the other hand, before the blood sugar level drops below 40 mg/dl, no obvious disease usually occurs, and up to 10% of people with morning blood sugar levels below 65 will not have a significant effect. The effect of hypoglycemia on the brain is called neurohypoglycemia, which can determine whether particular hypoglycemia is a "problem" for the person. Therefore, we tend to use the term hypoglycemia only when moderate hypoglycemia is accompanied by symptoms.
Diabetic hypoglycemia is a special condition, due for a variety of reasons, it is related to the relationship between measured glucose and symptoms of hypoglycemia. Home blood glucose readings can be misleading, but low symptom readings are more likely to represent actual hypoglycemia in people taking insulin. Second, compared with most other forms of hypoglycemia in adults, if left untreated, hypoglycemia is more likely to develop into a more serious disease. Third, since the blood sugar level of diabetic patients is almost always higher than normal, hypoglycemic symptoms most often occur at a higher threshold than those with normal blood sugar. For all these reasons, diabetic patients usually use a higher blood glucose threshold to determine hypoglycemia.
