- Hypoglycemia is a hormone disorder where the key hormone that restricts the uptake of glucose into cells. As a result, when a patient does not eat, the cells keep absorbing glucose and blood sugar drops to lower and lower levels. In extreme cases, a patient can lapse into a coma. Hypoglycemia can be treated by ensuring that a patient take regular meals to keep up their blood sugar level and by eating foods that take a longer time to break down into sugars.
- Hypoglycemia is what every diabetic fears -- very low blood glucose. Since the brain requires glucose for fuel at every second, it's possible to induce coma, seizures,brain damage and death by letting blood glucose drop too low. Because the brain is almost totally dependent on glucose to make use of oxygen, it is somewhat like having severe breathing problems. Though the causes and mechanisms are different, in both cases the brain does not have enough oxygen, and similar symptoms and problems can occur. It is caused by giving too much insulin for the body's current needs.
- Hypoglycemia was a condition in which a person has lower than normal blood sugar levels. Lee, a woman who worked at the Sanctuary District in San Francisco in 2024, had hypoglycemia. She began to feel the effects of it while being held hostage in the District's offices by Biddle Coleridge, Michael Webb, and Benjamin Sisko (posing as Gabriel Bell). However, Dr. Julian Bashir, who like Sisko arrived in 2024 from 2371 due to a transporter accident, helped Lee through her ordeal and attempted to get her a candy bar to help increase her blood sugar level.

| - Hypoglycemia is what every diabetic fears -- very low blood glucose. Since the brain requires glucose for fuel at every second, it's possible to induce coma, seizures,brain damage and death by letting blood glucose drop too low. Because the brain is almost totally dependent on glucose to make use of oxygen, it is somewhat like having severe breathing problems. Though the causes and mechanisms are different, in both cases the brain does not have enough oxygen, and similar symptoms and problems can occur. It is caused by giving too much insulin for the body's current needs. The blood glucose level at which an animal (or person) is dangerously hypoglycemic is fuzzy, and depends on several factors. The line is different for diabetics and non-diabetics, and differs between individuals and depending on exogenous insulin and what the individual is accustomed to. The most likely time for an acute hypoglycemia episode is when the insulin is working hardest, or at its peak; mild lows may cause lethargy and sleepiness. An acute hypoglycemic episode can happen even if you are careful, since pets' insulin requirements sometimes change without warning. Pets and people can have hypoglycemic episodes because of increases to physical activity. What makes those with diabetes prone to hypoglycemia is that muscles require glucose for proper function. The more active muscles become, the more their need for glucose increases. Conversely, there can also be hyperglycemic reactions from this; it depends on the individual/caregiver knowing him/herself and the pet's reactions. Vomiting and diarrhea episodes can bring on a hypoglycemia reaction, due to dehydration. According to a 2000 JAVMA study, dogs receiving insulin injections only once daily at high doses are more likely to have hypoglycemic episodes than those who receive insulin twice daily.

(DS9: "Past Tense, Part II") Skipping meals could also lead to low blood sugar levels, something which The Doctor warned Kes about in 2372 after she missed lunch to run an analysis for him. He apologized for it shortly afterwards, blaming his unwelcome comments on his programming. (VOY: "Parturition")
