Hypoglycemia
Hypoglycemia is a condition characterized by abnormally low blood glucose (blood sugar) levels, usually less than 70 mg/dl.
The main reasons that cause Hypoglycaemia:

- Alcohol consumption
The main symptoms are:
- Palpitations

Treating hypoglycemia:
If you realize that your blood glucose level is less than 70 mg / dL, you should apply the 15/15 rule:
- Take 15g of simple carbohydrates.
- Health professionals recommend dextrose in order to face hypoglycemic episode.
- Dextrose (D-glucose) glucose has the highest glycemic index and can be easily splitted into energy.
- It has been proven that products with "pure D-Glucose" act faster than other carbohydrates.
- After receiving 15g of dextrose, wait 15 minutes and repeat the glucose test. If the bloog glucese level is still below 70 mg / dL repeat the rule.
