Health Tip: Is My Blood Glucose Too Low?

(HealthDay News) -- Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) is a common complication of diabetes, and can occur even in people whose diabetes is well-managed.

Although the condition isn't always preventable, the American Diabetes Association says diabetics and their loved ones should recognize the warning signs. The ADA offers this list of potential symptoms:

  • Feeling dizzy or shaking.

  • Sweating and having pale skin.

  • Developing a headache.

  • Feeling hungry.

  • Showing sudden changes in behavior.

  • Moving clumsily.

  • Having a seizure.

  • Feeling confused or having difficulty paying attention.

  • Feeling a "tingling" sensation around the mouth.
