What symptom is NOT associated with hypoglycaemia?

Hypoglycaemia, or low blood sugar, triggers a range of physiological responses as the body attempts to restore normal glucose levels. Typical symptoms include tachycardia (an increased heart rate), clammy skin, and tremors, all of which are part of the body's fight-or-flight response to low glucose levels.

Tachycardia happens because the body releases adrenaline (epinephrine), which increases heart rate to help mobilize energy sources. Clammy skin can also relate to the adrenaline response as well as peripheral circulation changes. Tremors occur due to the activation of the nervous system in response to the low blood sugar level, striving to stimulate glucose production and release.

In contrast, increased urine output is not a symptom associated with hypoglycaemia. When blood glucose levels drop, the body typically tries to retain any existing glucose, and the kidneys would conserve more water and sugar rather than excreting them, leading to a decrease in urine output, not an increase. Thus, recognizing the typical symptoms of hypoglycaemia helps in diagnosing and managing the condition effectively.
