Your body becomes weak and very unstable, like if you were very tired. It depends...I am a Juvenile Diabetic so I can only say from that standpoint. In a way I would say that it affects everyone like alcohol--meaning everybody responds differently. I can say that with me, my hands and fingers start shaking, I break out in a cold sweat, the color drains from my face, sometimes dizzy, no energy, extremely weak, and also in my stomach I get the feeling like when you are on top of really high roller coaster and then go down the drop quickly, and any simple question that requires comprehension is almost impossible (ex: "what is 4x4??") i wouldn't be able to answer that if my blood sugar was low Like I said, it affects everyone differently.

If your blood glucose level gets too low (<70 mg/dl) you will get shaky, weak, and sweaty. If it drops below 40 mg/dl you may lose consciousness. If it is on the high side for extended periods (>120 mg/dl) you will eventually end up with Heart disease, kidney damage, blindness, gangrene, amputations, and death.

The hormone called as insulin is secreted, when the sugar level rises in your blood. This hormone lowers down the blood level of the glucose. The level of the hormone glucagon goes down. This hormone is responsible for increasing the blood glucose level. This is done in order to maintain the blood glucose level in normal range.
