hypoglycaemic
Dangerously low glucose
Hypoglycaemic describes abnormally low blood sugar levels, or something that causes or relates to this condition: hypoglycaemic shock, hypoglycaemic episodes.
Diabetics risk hypoglycaemic reactions when insulin doses exceed their needs.
The spelling is British; Americans write hypoglycemic.
