Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sweating and heart palpitations are common symptoms of hypoglycemia as there is a decrease in glucose levels which signals the release of counter-regulatory hormones like adrenaline leading to symptoms of sympathetic nervous system activation like sweating and palpitations. Increased thirst and polyuria are more commonly associated with hyperglycemia. Acetone breath could be a symptom of diabetic ketoacidosis, which is a complication of hyperglycemia. Warm, flushed skin is not typically associated with hypoglycemia as sympathetic nervous system activation typically causes cool, clammy skin.
