• Really hungry all the time especially craving carbohydrates such as bread, sugar, juice, soda/fizzy drinks, dried fruits – just eaten a full meal but feel that you need something else to eat. Almost an insatiable hunger.

• Stress and emotions running high, mood swings, anger, patterns outside of normal behaviour
  

• Sweating. This symptom is controlled by the autonomic nervous system (the part of the central nervous system that governs the skin, among other things) is a good indication that blood sugar is out of balance.
  

• Dizziness and light-headedness. This can be a little dangerous, depending on the job you are doing.

• Lack of concentration and being able to focus – foggy thinking, tired all the time.

• Shakes and tremors. The central nervous system starts to malfunction when glucose (sugar) levels are out of balance, and the release of a chemical compound catecholamines, which stimulates the production of glucose production, may produce these symptoms until the blood sugar levels out.

• Anxiety and Heart Palpitations. When glucose (sugar) levels fall too low, the hormonal system instructs the adrenal glands to release the hormone ephinephrine (also called adrenaline), which sends a message to the liver to release glucose (sugar). This can sometimes be too much and you get a rush of adrenaline (ephinephrine) which can cause you to have an anxiety attack which may cause your heart to palpitate (pump)

• Restless nights, low blood sugar may cause a number of sleep disturbances with symptoms such as night sweats, dreams/nightmares, waking suddenly, feeling of unrest and confusion upon waking.

• Blurred vision or poor night vision may be due to a drop in blood sugar.

• Slurred speech is caused by low blood glucose to the brain – this may sound like you have had too much alcohol.
