Detailed explanation-1: -Hypoglycemia is a condition in which your blood sugar (glucose) level is lower than the standard range. Glucose is your body’s main energy source. Hypoglycemia is often related to diabetes treatment. But other drugs and a variety of conditions-many rare-can cause low blood sugar in people who don’t have diabetes.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hyperglycemia is blood glucose greater than 125 mg/dL while fasting and greater than 180 mg/dL 2 hours postprandial. A patient has impaired glucose tolerance, or pre-diabetes, with a fasting plasma glucose of 100 mg/dL to 125 mg/dL.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hypoglycemia occurs when blood glucose levels fall below 4 mmol/L (72mg/dL). Whilst many of us do think of diabetes as being a problem of high blood sugar levels, the medication some people with diabetes take can also cause their sugar levels to go too low and this can become dangerous.
