hypoglycaemia

Condition of abnormally low level of sugar (glucose) in the blood, which starves the brain. It causes weakness, sweating, and mental confusion, sometimes fainting.

Hypoglycaemia is most often seen in diabetes. Low blood sugar occurs when the diabetic has taken too much insulin. It is treated by administering glucose.
