Hypoglycemia, also called low blood sugar, occurs when your blood glucose (blood sugar) level drops too low to provide enough energy for your body's activities. In adults or children older than 10 years, hypoglycemia is uncommon except as a side effect of diabetes treatment, but it can result from other medications or diseases, hormone or enzyme deficiencies, or tumors.
Symptoms of hypoglycemia include
- hunger
- nervousness and shakiness
- perspiration
- dizziness or light-headedness
- sleepiness
- confusion
- difficulty speaking
- feeling anxious or weak
Hypoglycemia can also happen while you are sleeping. You might
- cry out or have nightmares
- find that your pajamas or sheets are damp from perspiration
- feel tired, irritable, or confused when you wake up
