hypo
Nurse's short needle
Hypo is an informal shortening that works in two directions.
In medicine and diabetes care, hypo means hypoglycemia—dangerously low blood sugar: She's having a hypo; get her some juice.
In photography, hypo is the chemical sodium thiosulfate used to fix images.
The prefix hypo- means under or below, appearing in words like hypodermic and hypothermia.
