Hypoglycemia is a condition most often caused by
the pancreas secreting too much insulin which causes low blood sugar levels. If the pancreas is not
functioning properly then good carbohydrate metabolism is not possible. A person who has hypoglycemia
may have the following symptoms: dizzy, tired, light headed, irritable, anxiety,
want to eat sweets, night sweats,
depression, swollen feet, weakness in the legs, tightness in
the chest, nervous habits, and
insomnia. People that have hypoglycemia become angry, aggressive,
and lose their tempers easily. The symptoms normally occur a few hours after eating sweets or
fats. More and more people today have hypoglycemia because of poor diet and nutrition.
Stress also is also believed to increase the risk. Hypoglycemia can also be a warning sign for
diabetes.
