Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -With a hypo (full stop: hypoglycemia), the blood sugar is too low. There is too little blood glucose in your blood. You have a hypo if your blood glucose is lower than 3.9 mmol/l. Also people without diabetes can have blood glucose values below 3.9 mmol/l, but their body is able to solve this itself.

Detailed explanation-3: -The full name for a hypo is hypoglycaemia. It’s when your blood glucose level (also called blood sugar) is too low, usually below 4mmol/l. Low blood sugar can happen if the balance of diabetes medication you take (especially insulin), food you eat and physical activity you do sometimes isn’t right.

Detailed explanation-4: -Hypoglycaemia (a hypo) happens when your blood glucose level is too low. You’ll need to treat a hypo if your blood glucose falls below 4mmol/L.

Detailed explanation-5: -Hyperglycemia occurs when blood sugar levels are too high. People develop hyperglycemia if their diabetes is not treated properly. Hypoglycemia sets in when blood sugar levels are too low.
