By Mayo Clinic staffIf you have what appear to be symptoms of hypoglycemia, see your doctor. Hypoglycemia, if confirmed, can be an indication of any number of illnesses, all of which can be serious. By seeing your doctor, you can begin the process of having the underlying illness identified and treated.
If you have diabetes and early signs of hypoglycemia don't improve with eating or taking glucose tablets, seek immediate help. Also, seek emergency help if someone you know who has diabetes or a history of recurring hypoglycemia loses consciousness.
