What is Hypoglycemia? and Do you have it? Check it out.

I find Hypoglycemia is more common than people thing. For those that are aware of theirs you can
often spot it in others very quickly.
Below are some basic information for health Awareness.



* The term hypoglycemia literally means "under-sweet blood"

* Hypoglycemia can produce a variety of symptoms and effects but the principal problems arise from an inadequate supply of glucose as fuel to the brain.

* For most practical purposes, the brain is dependent on a continual supply of glucose diffusing from the blood into the interstitial tissue within the centrual nervous system.

* Brief or mild hypoglycemia produces no lasting effects on the brain, though it can temporarily alter brain responses to additional hypoglycemia. Prolonged, severe hypoglycemia can produce lasting damage of a wide range. This can include impairment of cognitive function, motor control, or even consciousness.

*Long term low sugar for any reason or emergency situation can cause: a coma, or death, always be prepared in emergencies, Keep your doctor notified when in the hospital or any other serious visit, alway carry health snacks on a long road or travel trip. Even a plane flight can be nerve racking if they do not serve meals or snacks, so always keep things in your carry bag with the ipod and laptop. Some Flight attendants can be irritated and not realize your situation if your plane does not serve, you are responsible before the flight. For business trips, first class may be an option too {meals}.
