What Are The Symptoms Of Low Blood Sugar Levels?
70 yr. old male on 17 units of WalMart Insulin 2x/day. Total fasting since about noon for hydrogen breath test at 8 am this morning. Had sugar of 80 at about 12:30 am. Should i worry about low sugar? Not sure if i can take glucose pills if I need them. Feel normal now but really hungry since all I ve had today was a cup of black coffee and a toasted hamburger bun, with nothing on it. Please advise me re: low sugar symptoms. TY much for your time

Hi
Greetings from HealthcareMagic
See you say the blood sugar was 80, so it is a normal value so your okay for now. Low sugar symptoms are sweating with more on the forehead, Feeling dizzy or even syncope at times, blurring vision .
In case of low sugar, eat some fruits or some sugar or glucose stat and you will feel better
Take Care
