Some key warning signs of low blood sugar may fade over time once you get diabetes. Physical clues, like a pounding heart and feeling shaky, sweaty, or weak, might begin to disappear after many years of living with the condition. The same is true for mood related symptoms, such as feeling irritable or sad.

This is why it's important to know the mental warning signs of low blood sugar. They don't go away. Some mild symptoms are trouble concentrating, slower speaking or thinking, and feeling uncoordinated. Severe mental symptoms include confusion and feeling disoriented. Remember the warning signs so you'll know to check your blood sugar and treat it, or call for help if it's low.
