Which is a common symptom of hypoglycemia?

  1. Thirst
  2. Fruity-smelling breath
  3. Irritability
  4. Flushed face
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: C. Irritability

Irritability (along with confusion, sweating, tachycardia, and hunger) is a classic hypoglycemia symptom. Thirst, fruity-smelling (ketotic) breath, and flushed/dry skin are instead characteristic of HYPERglycemia/diabetic ketoacidosis, not hypoglycemia.
