Low Blood Sugar Sign #10: Slurred Speech
Anybody that likes a drink from time to time will know that speech can become impaired by alcohol to the point where it slows down and becomes slurred, making it difficult for others to understand. Alcohol is not the only cause, though, and slurred speech can be the result of a low blood sugar level.
With insufficient glucose to provide the energy that it needs, the brain will increasingly struggle to help us speak clearly. In fact, we are not even likely to recognize the problem because our brains have slowed too much to be able to notice. Sudden slurred speech can also be a sign of a stroke, so it is something that should not be taken lightly.
