hypoglycemia


Hypoglycemia is a low level of blood sugar. It can be dangerous because blood sugar is the major source of energy for the brain. Low blood sugar can cause brain damage, or even death in prolonged instances. Hypoglycemia is common among those having diabetes if they receive too much insulin or if they don't eat enough.
