    Low blood glucose, or hypoglycemia, occurs when a person's blood sugar drops below the normal range. Signs include weakness, fatigue, hunger, irritability, blurred vision, and shaking. For diabetics, the general rule is that if feeling low, they should eat 15 grams of carbohydrates, wait 15 minutes, and if still low, eat another 15 grams. Severe hypoglycemia can cause unconsciousness and requires immediate glucose injections to treat.
