HYPOGLYCEMIAFACTS
Carbohydrates (Glucose) are the first/ main calorie resource for our body
Extra CHO are stored as glycogen in liver and muscles Or shifted to fat
The brain and RBCs are among other tissues that relies only on glucose as a fuel
![Page 4: Hypoglycemia in dm patients](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051516/55a517641a28abd07f8b4732/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
HYPOGLYCEMIADEFINITIONS
“All episodes of an abnormally low plasma glucose concentration (w or w/o symptoms) that expose
the individual to harm”
Low blood sugar, occurs when brain and body are not getting enough sugar.
Hypoglycemia …. < 70 mg/dl (< 3.9 mmol/L)
![Page 5: Hypoglycemia in dm patients](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051516/55a517641a28abd07f8b4732/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
WHAT IS HYPOGLYCEMIA ?
For Non Diabetic patientGlucose value < 50 mg/dl (2.8mmo/L)
For Diabetic patientGlucose value < 70 mg/dl (3.9 mmo/L)

HYPOGLYCEMIADEFINITIONS
Mild Hypoglycemia : Can be managed by patient him self
Severe Hypoglycemia : Need assistance /Hospital visit
![Page 7: Hypoglycemia in dm patients](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051516/55a517641a28abd07f8b4732/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
HYPOGLYCEMIAFACTS
The brain relies almost exclusively on glucose
So …Adequate uptake of glucose from the plasma is essential for
normal brain function and survival
Luckily …Very effective physiological and behavioral mechanisms
normally prevent or rapidly correct hypoglycemia

HYPOGLYCEMIASETTING
Common with Diabetics who are treated with
Insulin releasing pills (sulfonylureas, Meglitinides, or Nateglinide)
Insulin
Very unlikely with Lifestyle changes (TLC) only
Using alone medications like :( ex: Metformin ,DPP4I, GLP-1 + ,SGLT2 -)

Vomiting after meal & meds intake
Mismatch:Wrong dose or too high a dose of medications
for the amount of food;Too little carbohydrate

SETTING FOR HYPOGLYCEMIA
Unplanned / Excess exercisewithout snack / Rx adjustment
Excessive insulin / OHA dosesOrgan Failure Medications
Alcohol use

INSULIN EXCESS -ABSOLUTE OR RELATIVE
Excess insulin (Secretagogues) Doses, ill-timed /wrong type
Reduced exogenous glucose influx (Fasting /missed meals)
Increased insulin-independent glucose utilization (During and shortly after exercise)
Increased sensitivity to insulin (Hours after exercise, weight loss, nocturnal ,after improved control)
Reduced endogenous glucose production (Alcohol ingestion)
Reduced insulin clearance (Renal failure)

HYPOGLYCEMIC UNAWARENESS
Longer duration of DM and Autonomic Neuropathy
The brain has a trigger point at which it leads to releasestress hormones (Counter Regulatory Hormones)
With frequent low blood sugars, this set point gets reprogrammed to lower and lower blood sugar levels.
Stress hormones aren’t released until the blood sugar is dangerously low
![Page 30: Hypoglycemia in dm patients](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051516/55a517641a28abd07f8b4732/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
HYPOGLYCEMIC UNAWARENESS
What causes hypoglycemic unawareness?Loss of the ability to detect a low blood sugar
Patient needs to be vigilant; Do frequent monitoring
It may not be a permanent conditionManaged by easing the strict control for 2-3 weeks of
more

HYPOGLYCEMIATAKE CONTROL

Give 15-20 g of 50% glucose (dextrose) intravenously
A subsequent glucose infusion (or food, if patient is able to eat) is often needed, depending upon the cause of the hypoglycemia

ADA 2015 - HYPOGLYCEMIA
Individuals at risk for hypoglycemia should be asked about symptomatic and asymptomatic hypoglycemia at each
encounter. C
Ongoing assessment of cognitive function is suggested with increased vigilance for hypoglycemia by the clinician, patient,
and caregivers if low cognition and/or declining cognitionis found. B
![Page 51: Hypoglycemia in dm patients](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051516/55a517641a28abd07f8b4732/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
ADA 2015 - HYPOGLYCEMIA
Glucose (15–20 g) is the preferred treatment for the conscious individual with hypoglycemia, although any form of CHO that
contains glucose may be used
15-minutes after treatment, if SMBG shows continued hypoglycemia, the treatment should be repeated.
Once SMBG returns to normal, the individual should consume a meal or snack to prevent recurrence of hypoglycemia. E
