Neuroglycopenic
Neuroglycopenic refers to the symptoms and effects associated with a shortage of glucose (hypoglycaemia) in the brain. Glucose is the primary energy source for the brain, and when blood glucose levels drop significantly, the brain may not receive enough fuel to function properly. Neuroglycopenic symptoms are particularly relevant in the context of conditions such as diabetes, where episodes of low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia) can occur.
