hypoglycemics
Blood glucose reducers
Hypoglycemics are drugs that lower blood sugar levels, used primarily to treat diabetes.
The term also refers to people who suffer from hypoglycemia—abnormally low blood sugar: Hypoglycemics should carry glucose tablets in case of a sudden drop.
The adjective hypoglycemic describes anything relating to low blood sugar: a hypoglycemic episode, hypoglycemic medication.
