Hypogylcaemia

Hypoglycaemia is a condition in which there is an abnormally low level of glucose (sugar) in the blood. This may occur from the over-secretion of insulin by the pancreas, too little glucose in the diet and, in the case of people with diabetes, an administration of too much insulin or too many diabetes tablets, or taking insulin or diabetes tablets and missing a meal.
