Hypoglycemia happens in different ways
This is the most common type. It happens when people with diabetes take too much insulin or medicine. Skipping meals or eating too little can also cause it.
This happens a few hours after eating. The body makes too much insulin in response to food. It’s more common in people who don’t have diabetes.
This happens when a person goes many hours without food. It may be caused by medical problems like liver disease or hormone issues.
Drinking alcohol on an empty stomach can lower sugar levels. It stops the liver from releasing sugar into the blood.
This happens during sleep. It can cause nightmares, sweating, or waking up feeling confused. It’s common in people with type 1 diabetes.
Heavy exercise can use up sugar in the blood. If someone doesn’t eat before or after, sugar levels can drop too low.
Some non-diabetes medicines can cause sugar levels to drop. These include certain antibiotics or malaria drugs.
Hormone problems like low cortisol or growth hormone can cause hypoglycemia, especially in children.

Ask about symptoms

Eat or drink something with sugar
Glucose tablets
Fruit juice or candy
