Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

Low blood sugar means the amount of sugar level in your blood is below normal. The brain and other organs in the body require sugar for metabolism and proper functioning. If the sugar levels go below normal then there is compromise in the functioning of the organs. The brain consumes a good amount of sugars in blood as its requirement. If it does not get this nutrient then there will be delay or sluggish functioning in the brain. This is known as hypoglycemia. When the brain function is below normal at that time a person starts getting warning signals in the form of dizziness and vertigo.
