Low blood sugar is a precursor to diabetes

Low blood sugar is not a precursor to diabetes.

Low blood sugar occurs for a variety of reasons, may be due to a long time without eating, excessive exercise, the impact of certain drugs, etc., rather than necessarily directly related to diabetes. For example, in a long time fasting or starvation state, the body lacks energy sources, which easily leads to hypoglycemia. In pre-diabetes, insulin resistance gradually appears, and the body is insensitive to insulin, resulting in a gradual increase in blood sugar, but generally there are no symptoms of hypoglycemia.

In clinical practice, it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive analysis and judgment on the patient's lifestyle, medication, past medical history, etc. For abnormal blood sugar, whether it is hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia, professional evaluation and diagnosis are required to determine the specific cause and take appropriate treatment measures.
