Hypoglycemia is low blood sugar levels. One needs to pop a candy or glucose rich drink to prevent complications. You may experience dizziness, fast heart beats or even fainting if you delay taking glucose rich foods.
The development of insulin resistance typically increases insulin production (hyperinsulinemia) so that your body can maintain healthy blood sugar levels. If a person has excess insulin in their body and does not have insulin resistance, it would cause low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)
This is because overtime, your body becomes insulin resistant the pancreas keeps making more insulin to try to make cells respond.
Chronic insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia can result in chronic high blood sugar (hyperglycemia), which leads to prediabetes and Type 2 diabetes.
