Signs and Symptoms of Hypoglycemia (American Diabetes Association)
Hypoglycemia happens when your sugar goes way below the normal range. The normal blood sugar range is between 70 and 99 and someone who has hypoglycemia has blood sugar below 50 or 60. If your sugar gets that low it can cause your system to shut down, many people suffer from blurry vision, rapid heart rate, and can faint. When this happens the easiest thing you can do is eat something and check your blood glucose 15 minutes later. If you think you suffer from hypoglycemia, be sure to visit your doctor and don’t take the symptoms lightly.
