Symptom 14: Seizures – When Your Body Loses Control
In severe cases of low blood sugar, seizures can occur. This happens when the brain doesn’t receive enough glucose, leading to abnormal electrical activity that causes involuntary muscle movements or loss of consciousness.
Seizures can be life-threatening and require immediate medical attention. If you or someone you know experiences a seizure due to low blood sugar, call emergency services right away. Afterward, follow your healthcare provider’s recommendations for managing blood sugar levels and preventing future episodes.
To minimize the risk of seizures 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.
