sweating and tremors in diabetic patients? If you are not careful when
faced with such a situation, there is a possibility of going into a coma
and causing death. Medical experts say that all this happens due to the
extreme drop of sugar levels in the blood. This condition is called
hypoglycemia. It occurs when the glucose level falls below the normal
level.
If the blood sugar level drops too low, it can sometimes lead to extreme
hypoglycemia. Internal medicine experts say it can cause confusion,
blurred vision, tingling or numbness, slurred speech, and other
neurological symptoms. This is because the human brain depends on a
regular supply of glucose or sugar for energy. When these levels in the
blood drop to critical levels, the brain cannot function properly. If left
untreated, it can be life-threatening. That is why proper precautions
should be taken.
There are many reasons for low blood sugar levels. These include oral
antidiabetics (sulfonylureas), frequent use of medications, as well as
sepsis, liver diseases, kidney diseases, alcohol intake, tumors, or hormone
disorders such as cortisol that can lead to hypoglycemia.
