It is a common problem among people with diabetes, especially if taking insulin. A blood sugar reading below 4 mmol\/L or 70 mg\/dl is considered low.

If hypoglycemia is caused by an underlying medical condition, then it is important to identify and treat the underlying condition to prevent further episodes of hypoglycemia. [2]<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Symptoms of Low Blood Sugar<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">The symptoms of low blood sugar can vary depending on the person and the severity of the hypoglycemia.
