The long-term effects of repeated hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) are well-documented. What are the long-term effects of repeated episodes of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)? I’ve been told that repeated lows in children under the age of five could cause cognitive brain damage that is not detected until their teenage years. Is there any information on this? Are there long-term implications for adults who suffer repeated lows?
