Return to Home Page  Return to Symptoms Page

Hypoglycemia symptoms occur when the blood glucose falls below normal levels. Hypoglycemia symptoms most commonly occur in diabetic people who have too much insulin or other glucose lowering medications.

People who develop symptoms of hypoglycemia often will complain of anxiety with rapid heart rate and sweating (diaphoresis). Sometimes symptoms of hypoglycemia include confusion, weakness, dizziness, or blurred vision.


Other hypoglycemia symptoms may include tremor, difficulty walking, generalized weakness, tingling of the hands or face.


If severe hypoglycemia occurs people may become unconscious, develop seizures, or appear intoxicated.
