Hypoglycemia (Hypoglycaemia)

Hypoglycemia is a low level of glucose in the blood. It can lead to the development of muscle weakness and loss of coordination, confusion and severe sweating. With very severe hypoglycemia, hypoglycemic coma sometimes develops.

Hypoglycemia usually occurs in diabetes as a result of an overdose of insulin or insufficient carbohydrate intake.

To treat hypoglycemia, glucose is prescribed: if the patient is in a coma, then glucose is given to him by injection, in all other cases he takes it orally.

Hypoglycaemic is an adjective that refers to hypoglycemia.

Hypoglycemia is a pathological condition, a characteristic feature of which is a decrease in glucose levels below normal, which is most often associated with the development of a hypocarbohydrate state. This condition poses a serious threat to health, since this pathological abnormality can be quite dangerous and even deadly. Diagnosis of a hypoglycemic reaction is based on taking a medical history, determining the level of glycemia 2 hours after consuming a food product and 30 minutes before a glucose tolerance test. If the glycemic level is above the upper limits of normal, but the patient's fasting glycemic level is low, the condition is classified as a “hypoglycemic state.” Manifestations of a hypoglycemic state are headache, weakness, tachycardia, pallor, and emotional lability. If these manifestations appear more than twice a day, the diagnosis of hypoglycemia is considered established. If hypoglycemic

Hypoglycemia (from ancient Greek ὑπό- - under, below, under + γλυκός - sweet) or hypoglycemic state is a pathological condition characterized by a decrease in blood glucose concentration below normal, in which the activity of the central nervous system is disrupted. Hypoglycemia is classified as mild (mild), moderate (moderate), or severe (pronounced). Severe loss of consciousness occurs when the sugar level drops to less than 2.8 mmol/l, to whom - less than 1.5-2 mmol/l. Most often, hypoglycemia is observed due to disorders of carbohydrate metabolism: diabetes mellitus hypoglycemia
