Junior Flight Attendants (i.e. new-hires) often carry the brunt of the job because they frequently work less than 50 hours or less per month, making it very difficult to make ends meet financially. Reserves are usually guaranteed to be paid for at least 65 hours per month (it varies between airlines), and that helps.
Hypoglycemia, also known as low blood sugar, is when blood sugar decreases to below normal levels. This may result in a variety of symptoms including clumsiness, trouble talking, confusion, loss of consciousness, seizures, or death. A feeling of hunger, sweating, shakiness, and weakness may also be present. Symptoms typically come on quickly.
Hypoglycaemia, or a hypo, is an abnormally low level of glucose in your blood (less than four millimoles per litre). When your glucose (sugar) level is too low, your body doesn't have enough energy to carry out its activities. Hypoglycaemia is most commonly associated with diabetes, and mainly occurs if someone with diabetes takes too much insulin, misses a meal or exercises too hard.
