Low blood sugar, also referred to as hypoglycemia, occurs when the level of sugar in your blood drops significantly low. When this happens, as sugar is the source of fuel for your body's cells and functions, your body does not receive the energy that it needs to thrive and operate.While you may associate this condition with diabetes, people who do not have diabetes can also experience it. If you are a diabetic, hypoglycemia can occur when either your body produces too much glucose on its own or you take in too much prescribed glucose. If you are not a diabetic and become hypoglycemic, it is likely a result of either your body having trouble regulating your blood sugar levels or your body producing too much glucose after eating a meal. Overall, low blood sugar is much more common in diabetics than in non-diabetics.
