Hypoglycemia Symptoms
Epinephrine is among the major hormones released during hypoglycemia. Epinephrine causes the majority of the early symptoms of hypoglycemia.
Common symptoms of hypoglycemia include the following:
* trembling,
* clammy skin,
* palpitations (pounding or fast heart beats),
* anxiety,
* sweating,
* hunger, and
* irritability.
When the brain remains deprived of glucose, a later set of symptoms follows:
* difficulty in thinking,
* confusion,
* headache,
* seizures, and
* coma.
Ultimately, after significant coma or loss of consciousness, death can occur.
It is important to realize that with chronic or repeated hypoglycemia, the body does not respond as vigorously, so any hypoglycemic individual may display mild symptoms, or even experience no appreciable symptoms. Again, documentation of the blood glucose level is essential to confirm the diagnosis, with further testing to establish the specific cause if not known.

Me? I pass out.

Low blood sugar levels can happen to kids with diabetes because of the medicines they have to take. Kids with diabetes may need a hormone called insulin and/or diabetes pills to help their bodies use the sugar in their blood. These medicines help take the sugar out of the blood and get it into the body's cells, which makes the level of sugar in the blood go down.
But sometimes it's a tricky balancing act, and blood sugar levels can get too low. Kids with diabetes need to keep their blood sugar levels from getting too high or too low. How do they do it? With help from grown-ups, they keep three things in balance:

When my blood sugar gets too low I have a hard time making decisions and I am easily confused. I feel faint, and often lose track of what I'm doing.
