What is hypoglycemia and how is it treated?

Patient's question:

I am 42 this year and have been feeling dizzy lately. I even feel unsteady when walking, especially when I haven't eaten dinner for a long time. My heartbeat feels very anxious. My blood pressure is 125/85, which is still okay, but my blood sugar is very low, only 2.9. What is the cause of hypoglycemia and how is it treated?

Doctor's answer:

The symptoms of the patient are considered to be caused by hypoglycemia, primarily due to excessive insulin excretion or insufficient bowel movement volume, as well as excessive physical exertion, leading to hypoglycemic reactions. Diabetes is also not ruled out. It is best to conduct a hemoglobin A1c test and a glucose tolerance test for a thorough examination to make a diagnosis. Additionally, a detailed examination of the liver, gallbladder, and pancreas should be performed to further confirm the diagnosis and provide better treatment solutions.
