22. Maybe you don't have a host of different medical conditions that could cause this

And I hope you never do. But if you do, it can be quite frightening to those around you. Hopefully, it will not be on national tv with the world watching. Maybe a little compassion......maybe.

As your treatment plan becomes more effective in bringing your blood sugar within its target ranges, you may occasionally experience hypoglycemia (low blood sugar reactions). These reactions occur because there is too much insulin in your blood stream and not enough sugar going to your brain and muscles to help them function.

It is important to recognize and treat low blood sugar immediately because it can come on very quickly. It may be dangerous when your blood sugar is very low because you could pass out or have convulsions if your brain is not receiving enough sugar to work properly.
A low blood sugar reaction can happen when:
You take your medication, but don't eat on time.

You don't eat enough for the medication that you have taken.

You skip a meal.

You exercise more than usual.
Hypoglycemia reactions are thought of as "mild," "moderate," or "severe." If untreated, the early, mild symptoms of hypoglycemia can become moderate or severe.
