How to Take Control of Low Blood Sugar: Symptoms and Treatment by Emmaline: 3:23pm On Mar 13, 2023


Blood sugar is also known as glucose, and it comes from food. It serves as an important source of energy in the body. The main source of this energy in the body is found in carbohydrate foods such as rice, bread, yam, potatoes, fruit, vegetable, and milk. These are the main sources of sugar in the body.

After consumption, glucose is absorbed into the bloodstream. From the bloodstream, glucose is transported to every other body cell. This glucose is moved to other cells of the body and is broken down by a hormone called insulin. It is broken down to enable the body cells to use this glucose for energy.

Excess glucose consumed is stored in the liver and muscles. Sometimes it is converted into fat and used later as energy. When glucose level is reduced, the body cannot perform optimally.

People who are not on medications that increase insulin, always have enough glucose to maintain their blood sugar level. However, the liver can also release stored glucose when needed. But people on specific medication that increases insulin stand a high chance of having low blood sugar. I guess you’re wondering why, and I will tell you.

People who are on these medications are mostly diabetic patients. Naturally, they are diabetic because insulin production in their body is reduced and as a result, glucose breakdown is not very effective.

Taking drugs that increase insulin production becomes the best way for the body to break down glucose and regulate the glucose(sugar) level. This is because insulin breaks down glucose. But, when their body releases less glucose it could result in low blood sugar levels because they already have enough insulin produced, and are waiting to break down any form of glucose available.

At this point, treating low blood sugar becomes important to prevent other critical symptoms from developing.
