glycemic variability and hypoglycemia in diabetes
Glycemic variability refers to how the levels of glucose (sugar) in the blood fluctuate over time in individuals with diabetes. It indicates the extent of blood sugar level swings, both high and low, during the course of a day. Hypoglycemia, on the other hand, is a condition where blood sugar levels drop below normal, leading to symptoms like dizziness, shakiness, and confusion. In diabetes, it is a potential complication resulting from medications, insulin treatment, or inadequate carbohydrate intake.
