 h English (en)==Signs and symptoms==
Hypoglycemic symptoms are divided into two main categories. The first category is symptoms caused by low glucose in the brain, called [[Neuroglycopenia|neuroglycopenic]] symptoms. The second category of symptoms is caused by the body's reaction to low glucose in the brain, called [[adrenergic]] symptoms.

It is important to quickly obtain a blood glucose measurement in someone presenting with symptoms of hypoglycemia to properly identify the hypoglycemic episode.
