Your son often experiences dizziness and lightheadedness while running during physical education class, which is likely caused by hypoglycemia. It requires attention. Glucose is the main source of energy for the human body, especially the brain, which relies almost entirely on glucose for energy. Severe hypoglycemia can lead to loss of consciousness. Drinking glucose water can rapidly lower blood sugar levels. Pay attention to eating dinner on time regularly, and have snacks between meals to maintain stable blood sugar levels.
