Complications
If you ignore the symptoms of hypoglycemia too long, you may lose consciousness. That's because your brain needs glucose to function. Recognize the signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia early, because if untreated, hypoglycemia can lead to:
- Seizures
- Loss of consciousness
- Death
Take your early symptoms seriously. Diabetic hypoglycemia can increase the risk of serious — even deadly — accidents.
