Low blood sugar, also known as hypoglycemia, occurs when the level of glucose (sugar) in the blood drops below a certain threshold. Glucose is the main source of fuel for the body’s cells and it is regulated by insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas. When blood sugar levels fall too low, the body is not able to function properly. In people with diabetes, low blood sugar can occur as a side effect of taking insulin or other diabetes medications that increase insulin production. It can also occur in people without diabetes if they have a condition or take a medication that affects blood sugar levels.

Two new experimental drugs, the firsts in a new class of type 2 diabetes drugs, seem to help older diabetes drugs lower patients’ blood sugar, with the added bonus of a little weight loss.

They act by blocking the production of an enzyme called DPP-4 that normally inactivates that hormone.
