Hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar, can be a concern for individuals with diabetes or other health conditions. Making certain lifestyle changes can help reduce the risk of hypoglycemia and promote overall well-being.

Monitor Blood Sugar Levels Regularly
Frequent monitoring provides insight into blood sugar trends. It allows for timely adjustments in diet, activity, or medication to prevent lows.
Adjust Physical Activity
Engage in regular, moderate exercise and avoid sudden, intense workouts. Always check blood sugar before and after activity, and carry quick sources of glucose.
