Hypoglycemia means low blood glucose, or blood sugar. Your body needs glucose to have enough energy. After you eat, your blood absorbs glucose. If you eat more sugar than your body needs, your muscles, and liver store the extra. When your blood sugar begins to fall, a hormone tells your liver to release glucose.

If it happens often, your health care provider may need to change your treatment plan.You can also have low blood sugar without having diabetes. Causes include certain medicines or diseases, hormone or enzyme deficiencies, and tumors. Laboratory tests can help find the cause. The kind of treatment depends on why you have low blood sugar.The condition can be caused by a number of factors, including gastric surgery, genetics and unhealthful eating habits. This book encompasses information you need to know about your disease, including causes for the disease, tests for hypoglycemia.
