What are the symptoms of low blood sugar on GLP-1 medications?

Low blood sugar on GLP-1 medications can cause shakiness or trembling, sweating, and fatigue or weakness. Other symptoms include dizziness, blurred vision, irritability, hunger, a racing heartbeat, and difficulty concentrating. These signs can appear especially when eating less due to the medication's appetite-suppressing effects.

Key points:

  • Shakiness, trembling, sweating, or chills signal low blood sugar.
  • Fatigue, weakness, dizziness, or blurred vision often occur.
  • Irritability, confusion, hunger, or racing heartbeat are common.
  • Symptoms link to reduced food intake from GLP-1 effects.
