Symptom 10: Headaches – When Your Head Starts to Throb
Headaches are another common symptom of low blood sugar. They can range from mild to severe and may be accompanied by other symptoms such as dizziness, blurred vision, or difficulty concentrating.
Headaches related to low blood sugar occur because the brain is not receiving enough glucose, leading to blood vessels constricting and causing pain. If you experience a headache due to low blood sugar, check your blood sugar levels and consume a source of carbohydrates to help raise them.
To minimize the risk of headaches related to low blood sugar, maintain a regular eating schedule with balanced meals and snacks. If you have diabetes, work with your healthcare provider to develop a personalized blood sugar management plan that helps maintain stable blood sugar levels and minimizes the risk of hypoglycemia.
