Answers:

Hello,

(ANS) hypoglycemia also called low blood sugar, this can range from a mild & temporary condition to a life threatening at the extreme end of the spectrum.

**I sometimes suffer from low blood sugar because I've literally forgotten to eat any food over many many hours. Which is a much easier state of affairs to get into than you might think. Sometimes I can be so busy or involved in something that I forget to eat or am not hungry.

**If left unchecked or untreated hypoglycemia can lead a person to fall into a coma and if left untreated it can be life threatening but its extremely extremely rare that anyone dies from this now a days.

**I don't think you should be worried because a) its treatable b) go & see your local family doctor he or she can give you a much better idea of how seriously you may be affected.

**Its mainly a question of making sure you eat enough carbohydrates, these brake down into complex sugars in your body i.e. slow release sugars are probably what you need unlike fast sugars from sweets & candies & chocolates.

NOTE: You should avoid chocolates & sweets as they will tend to give you a sugar high (raised blood sugar) followed by a blood sugar deficit a sugary low i.e. this can lower your blood sugar levels **Not a good idea.

Best Regards Ivan
