- Alcoholic hypoglycemia refers to hypoglycemia caused by excessive drinking of diabetic patients.
- Alcohol can inhibit the reaction of glycogen gluconeogenesis and liver glycogen breakdown in the body. These two reactions are those that keep blood sugar constant when the person is hungry by synthesizing glucose from liver glycogen or fat stored in the body. If a diabetic patient drinks a lot of alcohol, especially on an empty stomach, he will inhibit the glycogen anaplastic response, which will cause severe hypoglycemia.
