I have a human anatomy test and was wondering what happens when there is a drop in blood sugar. And what kind of control mechanism would be used for it (positive or negative)

  1. I usually get weak, clammy, shakey, and sometimes pass out.  At that point I need some type of sugar (orange juice, mint candies) and it helps control those symptoms.


  2. a drop in blood sugar is called hypoglycemia and symptoms usually include hunger, shakiness, dizziness, sweating, sleepy, nervousness. Control mechanism is getting some glucose asap such as just taking glucose tablets, 1/2 cup of juice, soda (non-diet), or some hard candy like life savers. You can help prevent it by eating smaller more frequent meals throughout the day  

  3. shakey, sleepy, but cant fall asleep, feel drunk, blurred vision sometimes.
