German nutritionist Ina Dankwa recommended that diabetics control their blood sugar levels to avoid a severe drop or high blood sugar level. Not eating for a long period of time can lead to hypoglycemia, which also occurs when taking an overdose of medication.
Symptoms of severe low blood sugar include lethargy, sweating, trembling, inner turmoil, mental confusion, and heart palpitations. When you notice these symptoms, you should drink a sugar solution. In severe cases, an ambulance should be called.
