• #1 Hypoglycemia (Low Blood Sugar): Symptoms & Treatment

  https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/11647-hypoglycemia-low-blood-sugar

  Hypoglycemia happens when the level of sugar (glucose) in your blood drops below the range thats healthy for you. Its also called low blood sugar or low blood glucose. Hypoglycemia is common in people with diabetes, especially Type 1 diabetes. […] For most people with diabetes, hypoglycemia is when your blood sugar level is below 70 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) or 3.9 millimoles per liter (mmol/L). […] Hypoglycemia requires immediate treatment by eating or drinking sugar/carbohydrates. Severe hypoglycemia can be life-threatening and requires treatment with emergency glucagon and/or medical intervention. […] Common symptoms of hypoglycemia include shaking or trembling, faster heart rate, extreme hunger, sweating, dizziness and more. Symptoms of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) can start quickly, and they can vary from person to person.

• #3 Severe Hypoglycemia | Endocrine Society

  https://www.endocrine.org/patient-engagement/endocrine-library/severe-hypoglycemia

  Glucose, the primary type of sugar in the blood, is the main source of energy for the body and the brain. When blood glucose is low, the body doesnt have the fuel to function the right way. If blood glucose drops really low, the person is not able to function because physical and mental changes occur. They can have seizures or become unconscious. […] Hypoglycemia is the medical term used when the amount of glucose (sugar) in someones blood is lower than 70 mg/dL, with symptoms and signs noted above. Hypoglycemia typically resolves when the individual eats or drinks juice, sugar, or other simple carbohydrates. […] Hypoglycemia can be mild, moderate, or severe based on the persons blood glucose and condition. Here are the levels: Level 1 (mild) hypoglycemia: Blood glucose is less than 70 mg/dL but is 54 mg/dL or higher. Level 2 (moderate) hypoglycemia: Blood glucose is less than 54 mg/dL. Level 3 (severe) hypoglycemia: A person is unable to function because of mental or physical changes due to low blood glucose. They need help from another person.

  https://diabetes.org/living-with-diabetes/hypoglycemia-low-blood-glucose/symptoms-treatment

  Since each person can experience the feelings of low blood glucose differently, there are a variety of symptoms that can be associated with a low. These signs and symptoms of a dropping blood glucose level can develop quickly. […] These symptoms are caused by the release of the fight-or-flight hormone called epinephrine (adrenaline). It is the release of adrenaline that causes the symptoms of low blood glucose such as thumping heart, sweating, tingling, and anxiety. […] For most people, hypoglycemia symptoms start to appear when your blood glucose levels fall below 70 mg/dL. As unpleasant as they may be, these symptoms is how your body is telling you that you need to take steps to bring your glucose levels back up to range. However, many people can have a low and not feel any symptoms. This is called hypoglycemia unawareness.

  https://www.merckmanuals.com/professional/endocrine-and-metabolic-disorders/diabetes-mellitus-and-disorders-of-carbohydrate-metabolism/hypoglycemia

  Hypoglycemia, or low plasma glucose level can result in sympathetic nervous system stimulation and central nervous system dysfunction. In patients with diabetes who take insulin or antihyperglycemic treatment, hypoglycemia is common and is defined as a glucose level of 70 mg/dL. […] The surge in autonomic activity in response to low plasma glucose causes sweating, nausea, warmth, anxiety, tremulousness, palpitations, and possibly hunger and paresthesias. Insufficient glucose supply to the brain causes headache, blurred or double vision, confusion, agitation, seizures, and coma. In older patients, hypoglycemia may cause stroke-like symptoms of aphasia or hemiparesis and is more likely to precipitate stroke, myocardial infarction, and sudden death. […] In research studies under controlled conditions, autonomic symptoms begin at or beneath a plasma glucose level of about 60 mg/dL (3.3 mmol/L), whereas central nervous system symptoms occur at or below a glucose level of about 50 mg/dL (2.8 mmol/L).

  There is no agreed-upon lab value that defines hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia is said to be present when the patient has symptoms consistent with hypoglycemia in addition to a low serum glucose measurement (less than 70 mg/dL). This perspective reflects that hypoglycemia is a clinical presentation coupled with a lab finding of low serum glucose rather than a pure chemistry finding. Typically, neurogenic and neuroglycopenic symptoms of hypoglycemia occur at a glucose level of or below 50 to 55 mg/dL, but this threshold can vary from individual to individual. […] Patients who have diabetes can present with symptoms of hypoglycemia at relatively higher serum glucose levels. Chronic hyperglycemia alters the „set point” in which neuroglycopenic/neurogenic symptoms become apparent. This phenomenon is called „pseudohypoglycemia” because the serum glucose may be within normal range despite symptom presentation.

  Hypoglycemia is often defined by a plasma glucose concentration below 70 mg/dL; however, signs and symptoms may not occur until plasma glucose concentrations drop below 55 mg/dL. The symptoms of Whipple’s triad have been used to describe hypoglycemia since 1938. For Whipple’s triad, the practitioner must first recognize symptoms of hypoglycemia, then obtain low blood glucose, and finally, demonstrate immediate relief of symptoms by correcting the low blood glucose with glucose treatment. […] Hypoglycemia is most often seen in patients who have diabetes and are undergoing pharmacologic intervention. Among this group, patients with type 1 diabetes are 3 times as likely to experience hypoglycemia than patients with type 2 diabetes when receiving treatment. […] The clinical manifestations of hypoglycemia can be classified as either neuroglycopenic or neurogenic. Neuroglycopenic signs and symptoms are signs and symptoms that result from direct central nervous system (CNS) deprivation of glucose. These include behavioral changes, confusion, fatigue, seizure, coma, and potential death if not immediately corrected. Neurogenic signs and symptoms can be adrenergic (including tremors, palpitations, and anxiety) or cholinergic (including hunger, diaphoresis, paresthesias).

  Associations between fluctuations in blood glucose levels and medically unexplained symptoms, such as palpitations, numbness in the extremities, dizziness, and drowsiness, have been a topic of debate for an extended period; however, consensus remains elusive. […] Hypoglycemic symptoms (neuroglycopenic: warmth, drowsiness, weakness, fainting, decreased thinking ability, and dizziness) and autonomic symptoms (neurogenic: palpitations, cold sweats, anxiety/nervousness, tremors, hunger, and tingling) were evaluated separately. Hypoglycemia (70 mg/dL (3.9 mmol/L)) occurred at 240-300 min in 92% of all patients, with hypoglycemic and autonomic symptoms. Hypoglycemic symptoms increased over time and were highest at 240 min, while autonomic symptoms decreased significantly for 15 min and increased at 240 and 300 min.

  Hypoglycemia, or low plasma glucose level can result in sympathetic nervous system stimulation and central nervous system dysfunction. In patients with diabetes who take insulin or antihyperglycemic treatment, hypoglycemia is common and is defined as a glucose level of 70 mg/dL. […] The surge in autonomic activity in response to low plasma glucose causes sweating, nausea, warmth, anxiety, tremulousness, palpitations, and possibly hunger and paresthesias. Insufficient glucose supply to the brain causes headache, blurred or double vision, confusion, agitation, seizures, and coma. In older patients, hypoglycemia may cause stroke-like symptoms of aphasia or hemiparesis and is more likely to precipitate stroke, myocardial infarction, and sudden death. […] In research studies under controlled conditions, autonomic symptoms begin at or beneath a plasma glucose level of about 60 mg/dL (3.3 mmol/L), whereas central nervous system symptoms occur at or below a glucose level of about 50 mg/dL (2.8 mmol/L).

  Hypoglycemia is an important and easily reversible cause of altered mental status in patients presenting to the emergency department (ED). […] While there is no universally accepted blood glucose value, hypoglycemia is generally defined as a plasma glucose concentration low enough to result in symptoms such as altered mental status. This typically occurs at blood glucose levels less than 60 mg/dL, though the blood glucose level at which a patient may become symptomatic is highly variable. Additionally, the patients ability to detect and/or convey such symptoms also varies within the pediatric population. Ultimately, a serum glucose level of less than 40 mg/dL in neonates and less than 50 mg/dL in all other age groups should be considered abnormally low. […] The signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia are nonspecific and are often overlooked, particularly in the infant and young child.

  Failure to determine blood glucose levels early in the evaluation process can lead to a missed diagnosis and can be associated with progressive CNS dysfunction, cardiac dysrhythmias, or even death. In children, long-term consequences of these episodes can include developmental delays as well as physical and learning disabilities. […] Glucose is the main substrate for CNS function and therefore most hypoglycemic episodes include neurologic dysfunction, manifested by: Altered level of consciousness, Agitation, combativeness, or irritability, Confusion or lethargy, Seizures or focal neurologic deficits. […] As blood glucose levels fall, counter-regulatory hormones are released (mainly catecholamines), resulting in activation of the sympathetic nervous system. Findings may include diaphoresis, nausea and/or vomiting, nervousness or anxiety, palpitations or tachycardia, and tremors.

  When blood sugar levels are low, the goal is to get them back up into the healthy range quickly. […] If your child cannot keep down juice or food, can’t wake up or is having a seizure, give glucagon right away. Then call 911. […] Call your diabetes team if your child is having frequent low blood sugars. Their diabetes plan may need to be adjusted to help prevent future episodes.

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypoglycemia

  Hypoglycemic symptoms are divided into two main categories. The first category is symptoms caused by low glucose in the brain, called neuroglycopenic symptoms. The second category of symptoms is caused by the body’s reaction to low glucose in the blood, called adrenergic symptoms. Everyone experiences different symptoms of hypoglycemia, so someone with hypoglycemia may not have all of the symptoms listed above. Symptoms also tend to have quick onset. It is important to quickly obtain a blood glucose measurement in someone presenting with symptoms of hypoglycemia to properly identify the hypoglycemic episode. […] The biggest difference in blood glucose levels between the adult and pediatric population occurs in newborns during the first 48 hours of life. After the first 48 hours of life, the Pediatric Endocrine Society cites that there is little difference in blood glucose level and the use of glucose between adults and children. During the 48-hour neonatal period, the neonate adjusts glucagon and epinephrine levels following birth, which may cause temporary hypoglycemia. As a result, there has been difficulty in developing guidelines on interpretation and treatment of low blood glucose in neonates aged less than 48 hours. Following a data review, the Pediatric Endocrine Society concluded that neonates aged less than 48 hours begin to respond to hypoglycemia at serum glucose levels of 55-65 mg/dL (3.0-3.6 mmol/L). This is contrasted by the value in adults, children, and older infants, which is approximately 80-85 mg/dL (4.4-4.7 mmol/L).

• #154 Reactive hypoglycemia – Wikipedia

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactive_hypoglycemia

  Reactive hypoglycemia, postprandial hypoglycemia, or sugar crash is a term describing recurrent episodes of symptomatic hypoglycemia occurring within four hours after a high carbohydrate meal in people with and without diabetes. The condition is related to homeostatic systems used by the body to control the blood sugar level. Symptoms vary according to individuals’ hydration level and sensitivity to the rate and/or magnitude of decline of their blood glucose concentration. A crash is usually felt within four hours of heavy carbohydrate consumption. Along with the symptoms of hypoglycemia, symptoms of reactive hypoglycemia include double vision or blurry vision, unclear thinking, brain fog, insomnia, heart palpitation or fibrillation, fatigue, dizziness, light-headedness, sweating, headaches, depression, nervousness, muscle twitches, irritability, tremors, flushing, craving sweets, increased appetite, rhinitis, nausea, vomiting, panic attack, numbness/coldness in the extremities, confusion, irrationality, hot flashes, bad temper, paleness, anxiety, trouble talking, cold hands, disorientation, and the need to sleep or 'crash’. The majority of these symptoms, often correlated with feelings of hunger, mimic the effect of inadequate sugar intake as the biology of a crash is similar in itself to the body’s response to low blood sugar levels following periods of glucose deficiency. According to the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH), a blood glucose level below 70 mg/dL (3.9 mmol/L) at the time of symptoms followed by relief after eating confirms a diagnosis for reactive hypoglycemia.

Sometimes hypoglycemia symptoms occur after certain meals, but exactly why this happens is uncertain. […] This type of hypoglycemia, called reactive hypoglycemia or postprandial hypoglycemia, can occur in people who have had surgeries that interfere with the usual function of the stomach. […] Over time, repeated episodes of hypoglycemia can lead to hypoglycemia unawareness.

  Hypoglycemia is often defined by a plasma glucose concentration below 70 mg/dL; however, signs and symptoms may not occur until plasma glucose concentrations drop below 55 mg/dL. The symptoms of Whipple’s triad have been used to describe hypoglycemia since 1938. For Whipple’s triad, the practitioner must first recognize symptoms of hypoglycemia, then obtain low blood glucose, and finally, demonstrate immediate relief of symptoms by correcting the low blood glucose with glucose treatment. […] Hypoglycemia is most often seen in patients who have diabetes and are undergoing pharmacologic intervention. Among this group, patients with type 1 diabetes are 3 times as likely to experience hypoglycemia than patients with type 2 diabetes when receiving treatment. […] The clinical manifestations of hypoglycemia can be classified as either neuroglycopenic or neurogenic. Neuroglycopenic signs and symptoms are signs and symptoms that result from direct central nervous system (CNS) deprivation of glucose. These include behavioral changes, confusion, fatigue, seizure, coma, and potential death if not immediately corrected. Neurogenic signs and symptoms can be adrenergic (including tremors, palpitations, and anxiety) or cholinergic (including hunger, diaphoresis, paresthesias).
