What does having low blood sugar mean?

My little sister (12 years old) had her blood tested and she has low blood sugar. The doctor just said she wants to run more tests on it. How serious is this? What can happen? Is there any ways to help it???

this could be a first sign of diabetes

a heathly diet, good exercise, and if necessary some mediacation can help to control blood sugar

Low blood sugar can be a sign of diabetes.

It could also mean when she's older, she has more chances of having a stroke than others with normal blood sugar.

Low blood sugar means that your little sister doesn't have enough (good, healthy) sugar in her system.
Maybe you should like... take her to the convenience store and let her buy a lot of candy :P
Actually, that's kinda dangerous.

Ask your doctor if it is a sign of diabetes and he will tell you everything you need to know.
