Non Diabetic Hypoglycemia

Non-diabetic hypoglycemia is a condition in which the glucose levels in your blood drop too low. When your blood sugar is too low, your muscles and your brain do not have enough energy to function correctly. This type of low blood sugar happens in people who do not have diabetes. Non diabetic hypoglycemia comes in two forms. These two types are called fasting hypoglycemia and reactive hypoglycemia. Fasting hypoglycemia usually occurs when you have gone without food for eight or more hours. Reactive hypoglycemia usually happens about 2 to 4 hours after you have a meal.
