Hypoglycemia’s impact on health and well-being

 Hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar, affects nearly 10 percent of the population and is often overlooked despite its profound impact on health.

Frequent meals and snacks, along with the avoidance of sugar and caffeine, are recommended to prevent sharp spikes and drops in blood sugar.
