Hypoglycemia, also called low blood sugar, occurs when your blood glucose (blood sugar) level drops too low to provide enough energy for your body's activities. In adults or children older than 10 years, hypoglycemia is uncommon except as a side effect of diabetes treatment, but it can result from other medications or diseases, hormone or enzyme deficiencies, or tumors.

Hypoglycemia refer's to low blood sugar! As Hyperglycemia referrs to high blood sugar!
The rule of thumb is... Hypo means Low and Hyper Means High
For example...... Hypothermia means Low body basal temperature.As hyperthermia means high basal body tempature.

It means you have low blood sugar (as oppose to having hyper glycemia, which means you have high blood sugar).
