Your body needs glucose to have enough energy. After you eat, your blood absorbs glucose. If you eat more sugar than your body needs, your muscles, and liver store the extra. When your blood sugar begins to fall, a hormone tells your liver to release glucose.</p> <p>In most people, this raises blood sugar. If it doesn't, you have hypoglycemia, and your blood sugar can be dangerously low. Signs include </p> <ul> <li>Hunger</li> <li>Shakiness</li> <li>Dizziness</li> <li>Confusion</li> <li>Difficulty speaking</li> <li>Feeling anxious or weak</li> </ul> <p>In people with diabetes, hypoglycemia is often a side effect of <a href='https://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/diabetesmedicines.html'>diabetes medicines</a>.
