Hypoglycemia Definition
Glucose is a type of sugar. It is your body's main source of energy. Hypoglycemia is a condition where the level of glucose in your blood becomes low enough to cause symptoms. For most people, this level is 50-60 mg/dl (milligrams per deciliter), though anything below 70 mg/dl is considered below normal. When blood glucose drops too low, your body does not have enough energy to function properly.
