Hypoglycemia is a blood sugar level of 50 mg/dl or less. Chocolate has a lot of fat, so it raises the sugar level slowly and is dangerous.

[사진 = 게티이미지뱅크]People often say that they have lost their concentration or when things are not going well.
In fact, it may be a signal from the body because it is not enough sugar, but when asked about specific symptoms, most cannot answer properly. Because of this, most saying that ‘sugar is down’ is equated with coming out of a situation where you need to take a break and snack, such as sweets.
The exact name of the disease that we often say is ‘low blood sugar’ is hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia refers to a condition in which blood sugar is lower than normal. Normal blood pressure is 70-100 mg/dl fasting and 140 mg/dl 2 hours after eating. Hypoglycaemia is generally defined as a blood sugar level of less than 50 mg/dl.
The cause of hypoglycemia is that a person using oral hypoglycemic drugs or insulin consumes less food than usual (if he or she skips food, eats too little, has vomiting due to indigestion, etc.) or excessive exercise or activity. etc.
In addition, hypoglycemia may occur if an overdose of insulin or oral hypoglycemic agent is mistakenly administered even though the person has eaten and exercised as usual. Hypoglycaemia may occur if a normal person continues fasting for a long time.
Symptoms of hypoglycemia include weakness, body tremors, paleness, cold sweats, dizziness, excitement, anxiety, palpitations, hunger, headaches, and fatigue. Prolonged hypoglycemia can cause convulsions or seizures, and can lead to shock and loss of consciousness.
If hypoglycemia occurs, you should eat sugar-containing foods as soon as possible and take a break. Foods that can be consumed to restore blood sugar include half a glass of juice or cola, 3-4 candies, and 1 tablespoon of sugar.
Chocolate is not suitable as a hypoglycemic emergency food. This is because chocolate contains a lot of fat in addition to sugar, so it raises the sugar level in blood sugar slowly and does not quickly recover from hypoglycemia. People suffering from hypoglycemia do not eat chocolate. The person who eats chocolate because the sugar is down is just giving an excuse to eat something sweet. In addition to chocolate, bread and high-fiber fruits are not suitable as low-glycemic emergency foods.
