Hypoglycemia Explained: Causes, Symptoms and Prevention :
Dr. A.N.V. Koteshwara Rao, Senior Physician & Pulmonologist, Health ADDA Hospitals explains that low blood sugar, also known as hypoglycemia, occurs when the glucose level in the blood falls below normal. Glucose is the body’s main source of energy, especially for the brain. When sugar levels drop, the body starts showing warning signs like sweating, shakiness, dizziness, hunger, headache, weakness, and confusion. The most common reason for low sugar is related to diabetes treatment. Taking excess insulin or diabetes tablets, skipping meals, eating late, or doing heavy physical activity without proper food can suddenly lower sugar levels. People who consume alcohol on an empty stomach are also at higher risk. In some cases, low sugar can occur even in people without diabetes due to prolonged fasting, severe infections, liver or kidney problems, hormonal imbalance, or certain medications.
In the educational video titled “Low blood sugar”, Dr. A.N.V. Koteshwara Rao clearly explains why hypoglycemia happens, how to identify early symptoms, and what immediate steps should be taken to prevent complications. Watching this video helps patients and caregivers understand the importance of regular meals, timely medication, and routine sugar monitoring. Treating low sugar early is very important because severe hypoglycemia can lead to fainting, seizures, or unconsciousness. A balanced diet with proper carbohydrates, proteins, and regular medical follow-ups can help control sugar fluctuations.
