Detailed explanation-1: -Low blood sugar is a condition that occurs when the body’s blood sugar (glucose) decreases and is too low. Blood sugar below 70 mg/dL (3.9 mmol/L) is considered low. Blood sugar at or below this level can be harmful. The medical name of low blood sugar is hypoglycemia.
Detailed explanation-2: -Overview. Hypoglycemia is a condition in which your blood sugar (glucose) level is lower than the standard range.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hypoglycaemia, or a “hypo", is an abnormally low level of glucose in your blood (less than four millimoles per litre). When your glucose (sugar) level is too low, your body doesn’t have enough energy to carry out its activities.
Detailed explanation-4: -While this is important, closely managing your blood sugar levels also increases your chance for low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Blood sugar below 70 mg/dL is considered low. If you think you have low blood sugar, check it.
Detailed explanation-5: -There are two kinds of non-diabetic hypoglycemia, reactive hypoglycemia and fasting hypoglycemia. For fasting hypoglycemia, you may have blood glucose checked every few hours during a fast lasting several days. For reactive hypoglycemia, you might have a test called a mixed-meal tolerance test (MMTT).
