When people think of diabetes, they think of extremely high blood glucose levels. People who have diabetes have to constantly regulate these levels because too high of blood sugar levels can be fateful. Some people do everything they can to control the blood glucose levels but still have complications. One of these complications is hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia is actually the opposite of diabetes. That is, hypoglycemia refers to a condition that results in low blood sugar. The severity and symptoms can vary from person to person. Normally hypoglycemia is “cured” when blood sugar is restored to a safe level.

Those at risk for hypoglycemia include patients who have both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Patients who have insulin resistance also can be at risk for low blood sugar. Some people can show signs of hypoglycemia even if they do not have diabetes. Any significant drop in blood sugar can result in minor cases of hypoglycemia. Despite the advances in controlling diabetes, hypoglycemic episodes are one of the major factors in achieving favorable blood glucose levels.

Because diabetes is such a high risk disease, high blood sugar is looked at as being dire. However, many people don’t understand why low blood sugar is also bad. The reason is that the body needs fuel to work. The major fuel source is sugar which it gets from complex carbohydrates or simple sugars. A small amount of sugar is stored in the liver known as glycogen. If the body is not getting the sugar it needs, it will go to this stored sugar and make it into fuel. The brain actually depends almost 100% on sugar (glucose) to work. Obviously, the brain cannot make its own glucose and depends on the rest of the body to provide it. If the level of glucose falls too low, the brain cannot function the way it should and gives the body signs that it needs it. 

There are many things the brain will tell the body to do if blood glucose levels are too low. When the liver has to start using the stored glucose, the brain will start letting the body know, “I need more sugar!” Some of the signs a person will show when glucose levels are dropping include nervousness, intense hunger, trembling, weakness, and trouble speaking. Most people, if they start to show these symptoms, will eat something with sugar and the symptoms will go away. These signs are just the beginning of hyperglycemia. If someone experiencing these symptoms consume sugar, as said before, they will start to feel better. If it is not taken care of, dizziness and fainting can occur. The brain is now saying it cannot function anymore without glucose and shuts down. 

Hypoglycemia can be treated by simply allowing the blood to absorb glucose. This is most obviously done by eating foods with sugar or complex carbs. Regular soda, hard candy, juice, or plain table sugar will allow the blood to absorb the glucose it needs quickly. Once the brain has enough glucose to function, the symptoms of hypoglycemia will subside. Along with a balanced diet and medication to control diabetes, taking Diablin by Hamida Pharma can aid the body to better respond to insulin and naturally decrease the risks of diabetes-related complications such as hypoglycemia.
