Is hypoglycemia a medical emergency?
Yes, it is. Blood sugar below 70 can cause your body to pass out. Your organs, especially your brain, do not have enough glucose to provide energy to the cells and everything starts shutting down. Lightheadedness, dizziness, jittery, nausea, seizures, loss of consciousness, heart attack, and cardiac arrest can all occur due to hypoglycemia. If you start to feel any of these symptoms you should quickly drink some juice or eat a piece of candy to bring your blood sugar up rapidly. Please talk with your provider about reasons this may be occurring and they may want to provide you with some glucose tablets or a glucagon pen that can be used in an emergency to bring your blood sugar up rapidly.
