Diabetic Hypoglycemia of the Patients with Diabetes

Nearly all patients with Type 1 Diabetes and above 20% of the patients with Type 2 Diabetes have at least an experience of Diabetic Hypoglycemia.

Blood glucose refers to the glucose in the blood. In normal case, the empty blood glucose level should be 3.3~6.1 mmol/L and the postprandial 2 hours blood glucose is 3.3~7.8 mmol/L. When blood glucose level is below 2.8 mmol/L, it is called Hypoglycemia.

When the blood glucose level is too low, the patients will have paleness, palpitation, excessive perspiration, tremble and even syncope. However, in some cases, even if the patients'blood glucose level is above 2.8 mmol/L, they still may have Hypoglycemia.

When the patients with Diabetes have Hypoglycemia, they will present the following symptoms.

1. Sympathetic nerve is too excited

The patients with Hypoglycemia often feel particularly hungry, tremble in limbs, fatigue and cold sweat, dizziness, nausea, vomit and so on.

2. Brain function disturbance

When suffering from Hypoglycemia, the patients with Diabetes will get mind fuzzy, loss discernment, have headache, dizziness, speech disturbance, dementia, and coma and so on.

However, in some cases, the patients' blood glucose level declines to 2.8 mmol/L, they do not have symptoms at all. In fact, the Hypoglycemia will also do severe damage to the patients. Asymptomatic Hypoglycemia often occurs among the patients who have a long history of Diabetes, control their blood glucose too strictly, and have Diabetic Neuropathy and so on.
