Detailed explanation-1: -Blood sugar levels change often during the day. When they drop below 70 mg/dL, this is called having low blood sugar. At this level, you need to take action to bring it back up. Low blood sugar is especially common in people with type 1 diabetes.
Detailed explanation-2: -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: -If hypoglycemia becomes severe, you may not be able to safely swallow food or drink. By this point, your blood glucose level is less than 54 mg/dL-often below 40 mg/dL. You may feel very confused, pass out, or have a seizure. Without prompt treatment, severe hypoglycemia may lead to a coma or even death.
