They need to take a blood-glucose test and should never leave the patient regardless if they don't know if it is because they are drunk or not. The patient could slip into unconsciousness. Patients who are prone to severe hypoglycemia reoccur. There is also another type of hypoglycemia that is called Organic Hypoglycemia and that is when you are fasting or even after exercise, but this type is the least common. Another one is tumors of the pancreas and in rare instances inadequate functioning of the anterior pituitary or adrenal cortex.
Diabetics occasionally experience hypoglycemic attacks following excessive injections of insulin.
It is caused by the body's inability to produce sufficient insulin or to use the supply of insulin it has. Insulin is a protein hormone which is produced by beta cells in the pancreas, then it secretes into the blood stream. When you lack insulin or it is not used properly, the body loses it's ability to process glucose. As a result the glucose accumulates into the blood. There are two types of diabetes.
