I couldn't find a flag for hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), which is something I consistently suffer from, so I made my own :)
There are 7 stripes, the stripe pattern starts at a higher point on the left, goes down towards the right at an angle, flattens out a little, continues to go down towards the right at an angle, and flattens out once again.
This shape represents the falling blood sugars of hypoglycemia.
The colours from top right to bottom left are:
Light green, teal, light indigo, white, purple, dark purple, and black with a purple tint. The colours get darker in that order, this is purposeful as to align with what symptoms the colours represent, with the colours getting darker as the symptoms become more detrimental to someone's health, minus white which the placement of is there to break up the colours.
These colours represent the following symptoms of hypoglycemia:
Light green - Nausea, shaking, paleness, and sweating.
Teal - Fatigue, anxiety, and difficulty concentrating.
Light indigo - Dizziness, hunger, and headaches
White - Low/dropping sugar levels.
Purple - Confusion, numbness, and irregular heartbeat.
Dark purple - Blurry and/or black vision, loss of coordination, slurred speech, and nightmares (if asleep while having an episode).
Black with a purple tint - Unconsciousness and seizures.
On the second image, the symbol in the centre is an outline of a drop of blood, with an arrow pointing down inside of that. Both are red with a black outline. This is also to represent the falling blood sugars, but is meant to be used as a quick identifier, much like the bipolar symbol :(: (colon, left parenthasis, colon. Mimics both a frowning face and a smiling face at the same time).
Anyone is free to use this flag.
