Patient's question:
Yesterday I went running, but I couldn't endure it after just three kilometers. I felt a bit dizzy. When I got home, I asked my mom, and she said it might be low blood sugar. What are the causes of low blood sugar?Doctor's answer:
Hypoglycemia is a very common disease, with symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness, palpitations, and weakness. There are many reasons that can lead to hypoglycemia, such as insufficient intake of sugar or starch, excessive blood sugar consumption due to physical activity, excessive alcohol consumption, lack of sleep, or the use of too much hypoglycemic medication or insulin in diabetic patients. These factors can all cause repeated episodes of hypoglycemia symptoms. If severe hypoglycemia occurs, it is important to seek medical attention promptly to prevent life-threatening complications.
