Dear sir,

You need to take sugar or glucose biscuits immediately

low sugar levels represents uncontrolled sugar levels. usually with one type of drugs like sulphonyl ureas this is most common side effect. if the low sugar level episodes are more, then you need to stop Glimpiride after consulting local doctor

Thank you sir
