Hypoglycemia- non diabetics....

Hypoglycemia is a condition when your blood sugar is too low. There are three reasons why it could occur -that is your body's sugar is used too quickly. Glucose is released into the bloodstream too slowly,or too much insulin is released into the blood stream. The reason for people without a diabetic condition could be drinking alcohol, a tumor or cyst in the pancreas so that it produces too much insulin, liver disease or perhaps you may have skipped a meal or there has been too long an interval between meals.
Symptoms could be: Double or blurry vision, fast or pounding heartbeat, feel cranky or acting aggressive,
nervous feeling, hunger, trembling or shaking, sweating and sleeping trouble. You may just experience a few symptoms. perhaps some toast and honey or 1 cup orange juice (not diet) will rescue you temporarily
You may feel weak and faint or something more serious -so you should seek medical attention-also remembering that you should not drive when your blood sugar is low. also if you experience this condition at all -you should call your health care provider.

Today -we are speaking about people that have not been diagnosed with diabetes at the present time.
It can also occur with diabetics- so let's not get confused...
