What are the dangers of abnormal sugar levels?

Both hypo- and hyperglycemia affect how you feel. First of all, the brain suffers, because its cells consume about half of all energy supplied by glucose.

Dizziness, loss of concentration, weakness, darkening of the eyes, and trembling hands are common symptoms for both low and high blood sugar levels.
