What Causes Hypoglycemia?

Kidney Conditions

Your kidneys need to be healthy! Ladies, they filter waste, excess fluid, and toxins from your blood. Where's it go? Out of your body through pee! However, kidney conditions can hamper their function. Some of them affect your blood sugar! Yes, your kidneys can get excess glucose from your blood. But if they don't work right and can't put the glucose back, if it's needed? Your body might not have enough to use! This means that you'll end up with hypoglycemia! Ladies, you don't need to take this risk. Getting treatment for kidney conditions will prevent issues just like this! Talk to your doctor to make sure you've got things under control.

Hepatitis

Hepatitis affects the liver, ladies. It'll mean some inflammation and damage, thanks to 1 of 5 viral strains, immune system attacks, or too much alcohol. This isn't great for your blood sugar and often means hypoglycemia. Why? Your body stores the glucose it doesn't need in the liver! These stores help it make sure your blood sugar doesn't drop too much. The liver releases it when needed! But if there's reduced liver function? This doesn't happen. Your liver may not store the glucose it needs. Another possibility? Hepatitis can ensure that you can't access the glucose even if it's there! Both cases mean hypoglycemia is on the horizon!
