Whether you are pregnant or have some other health condition that affects your blood sugar, you should be aware that there will be times when your blood sugar levels may decrease. When this happens the medical term for it is called, Hypoglycemia.

Some of the causes are as follows as well as what you can do to manage the symptoms before they worsen.

Diabetes is a disease in which the body is unable to properly use the sugar called glucose to fuel our bodies for energy and growth the body needs. Virtually all of the food we consume is broken down into glucose sugar that enters into the bloodstream. The pancreas produces insulin which takes the glucose from the bloodstream into body cells, where it is then used for body fuel. If the pancreas doesn’t produce enough insulins or the cells don’t use insulin properly, the glucose builds up in the bloodstream while the cells that fuel the body are starved of energy. Overtime, if not treated diabetes can lead to serious health complications such as risk for heart disease, kidney renal disease, blindness, and nerve problems.
