Abstract

Glucose is an obligate metabolic fuel for the brain under physiologic conditions. If glucose levels decreases to a certain limit, can lead to neuroglycopenic symtoms(due to deprivation of glucose to CNS) and those attributable to the autonomic nervous system activation triggered by hypoglycemia (neurogenic or autonomic symptoms) .Students often complain about inability to concentrate and other symptoms of hypoglycemia in lectures which immediately precedes the lunch hour. This study investigates whether hypoglycemic symptoms are associated with decrease blood glucose levels in young healthy medical students.
