The document discusses hypoglycemia or low blood sugar levels. It defines normal fasting blood sugar as 70-100 mg/ml and a 2 hour post-glucose level of <140 mg/ml. Symptoms of hypoglycemia include dizziness and should be managed promptly. If blood sugar is <70 mg/dl, the person should consume something sweet and check again after 10-15 minutes. If still low or symptoms persist between 70-100 mg/dl, they should eat and see a doctor. In emergencies, sugar should be consumed without checking first. Unconsciousness can occur and is treated by applying honey or glucose paste and drinking water. Glucagon injections are recommended to have at home
