Hypoglycemia describes a condition causing low blood sugar. Low blood sugar is a term describing what is found at the present moment. If a diabetic or anyone else has a blood sugar under 60, that is low. With a meal, it can go back up.

medical term hypo means low. Hyper means high. Hypoglycemia is the medical term for low blood sugar just like Diabetes Mellitus Type 1 means diabetic who is insulin dependent.
