Detailed explanation-1: -Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) is the term used for when you have too little sugar in your blood. Other terms are “insulin-reaction", “lows” or “hypo."
Detailed explanation-2: -Severe hypoglycemia, or insulin shock, is a serious health risk for anyone with diabetes. Also called insulin reaction, because of too much insulin, it can occur anytime there is an imbalance between the insulin in your system and the amount of food you eat, or your level of physical activity.
Detailed explanation-3: -The hormone insulin lowers blood sugar (glucose) levels when blood sugar is too high. If you have type 1 or type 2 diabetes and need insulin to control your blood sugar, taking more insulin than you need can cause your blood sugar level to drop too low and result in hypoglycemia.
Detailed explanation-4: -Hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) is the hallmark of diabetes onset, and it usually continues to occur on and off after you start treatment. On the other hand, hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) occurs as the result of diabetes treatment, particularly insulin administration.
Detailed explanation-5: -Low blood glucose, also called low blood sugar or hypoglycemia, occurs when the level of glucose in your blood drops below what is healthy for you.
