Understand the normal range for blood glucose levels, which is typically between 70 to 100 mg/dL when fasting.
Recognize that a blood glucose level of 45 mg/dL is significantly below the normal range, indicating hypoglycemia.
Identify common signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia, which include confusion, sweating, shakiness, dizziness, and irritability.
