Someone who has Diabetes or certain metabolic disorders needs to keep a careful balance between insulin and glucose in the bloodstream. If the blood sugar becomes low, the patient may experience hunger or nausea accompanied by an elevated heart rate, anxiety, and cold, clammy skin. If left unchecked, low blood glucose may cause the patient to become angry or confused; they may also have difficulty seeing clearly. Extreme hypoglycemia can cause unconsciousness, coma, or even death. Fortunately, the early stage of hypoglycemia is easily treated by eating a sugary food.
