Most Common Diabetic Hypoglycemia Symptoms

Irritability Or Anxiety

Just having symptoms during a period of hypoglycemia can bring on irritability or anxiety. Anxiety often results as patients can feel their body failing them, yet they don't know why. The anxiety can be caused by the other symptoms or be a primary symptom. Furthermore, experiencing blurry vision, slurred speech, or any other symptoms, it can cause irritability as well. An underlying mental or physical condition can cause anxiety and irritability. Therefore, it is important to test blood sugar to either eliminate or confirm it as a result of hypoglycemia. Regardless, it is important to discuss these symptoms with a doctor.

Blurry Or Double Vision

A scary symptom of hypoglycemia is blurry or double vision. Diabetes patients already know high blood sugar can cause vision problems. This happens because the lens of the eye gets swollen and it changes the shape and vision can become distorted. However, with hypoglycemia, this is not the case, and patients should be aware vision changes can happen with both low and high blood sugar. In cases of hypoglycemia, low blood sugar is making it hard for the systems of the body, including the brain, to function properly. So, vision problems are the result of the brain not being able to process and focus on what the eye is viewing. Thankfully, once blood sugar is under control, this symptom usually resolves itself without much medical intervention.
