Any blood sugar below 70mg/dl is considered as low sugar or hypoglycemia.
This is as dangerous as high sugar.
This can lead to brain dead state or heart problem.
His tablets have to be reduced to maintain sugar above 100mg/dl.
Next Steps
Immediately give him sugar or sweet food items to prevent further reduction in sugar.
Health Tips
