A member asked:
Can low blood sugar be apparent on the outside of the body?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
"That look": Since young kids with diabetes can't express that they feel low blood sugars, many parents of young children with diabetes can identify "that look" when they think the child has low blood sugar. Some will get shaky, pale, sweaty, and stare off. Some get really cranky, tired, and hungry.
