Insulin shock; Low blood sugar
If you have diabetes, make sure you follow your doctor's advice regarding diet, medications, and exercise.
If you have a history of hypoglycemia, you should keep a snack or drink containing sugar available at all times to take as soon as symptoms appear. If symptoms do not improve in 15 minutes, eat more food. A glucagon kit is available for those who have episodes of hypoglycemia that don't respond well to other types of treatment.
