hypoglycemia vs. hyperglycemia
Hypoglycemia refers to low blood sugar levels, typically below the normal range. It may occur due to excessive insulin dosage or prolonged fasting, causing symptoms such as dizziness, confusion, and weakness. On the other hand, hyperglycemia refers to high blood sugar levels, often associated with diabetes or inadequate insulin production. Symptoms include increased thirst, frequent urination, and tiredness.
