A sudden drop in blood sugar to 54?mg/dL is low and needs immediate action. Take a quick source of sugar, such as glucose tablets, fruit juice, or candy, and recheck your sugar after 15?minutes. You should consult your doctor to adjust your medication and prevent future low sugar episodes.

Possible Cause:
- Gliclazide in Glykind M can cause hypoglycemia by increasing insulin release.
- Metformin typically does not cause low blood sugar on its own.
Symptoms to Watch:
- Dizziness, sweating, palpitations, hunger, dry mouth.
Immediate Steps:
- Consume fast-acting carbohydrates like glucose tablets or juice.
- Recheck blood sugar after 15 minutes.
Consult Healthcare Provider:
- Discuss medication adjustment or other potential causes.
- Regularly monitor blood sugar to prevent future episodes.
