HYPOGLYCEMIA
PRESENTED BY
SOWMIYA G
• Hypoglycemia is a medical term for low blood sugar
(glucose).
• In most people, a normal level of blood sugar is
within a range of 70 to 99 mg/dL.
• Hypoglycemia can be a concern for people with
diabetes, but it also affects people who do not have
diabetes.
• Two conditions that can affect people without
diabetes are
• postprandial syndrome and
• reactive hypoglycemia.
Postprandial syndrome(after eating)
Postprandial syndrome is when someone
develops symptoms of low blood sugar within 4 hours
after eating but blood sugar doesn’t actually drop
below normal. Having these symptoms may be related
to eating a high carbohydrate meal.
Reactive hypoglycemia
Reactive hypoglycemia is symptoms of low blood
sugar along with a blood sugar level less than 70 mg/dl.
This too most often occurs about 4 hours after a
meal and symptoms improve right away with intake of
carbohydrates.
SYMPTOMS
• Hunger
• Sweating
• Shakiness
• Weakness
• Fatigue
• Nausea/vomiting
• Numbness/coldness in
arms or legs
• Mood swings
• Double
vision/blurred vision
• Fast pulse rate
• Headache
• Anxiety
• Flushing
• Confusion
• Irritability
Causes of Hypoglycemia
• It most commonly
happens when a
person with diabetes
has taken too much
insulin
• Lack of glucagon
(hormone that is
secreted from the
pancreas that raises
blood glucose
levels)
• Excessive alcohol
consumption: drinking
heavily can block liver
from releasing stored
glucose
• Tumor of pancreas
known as an
Insulinoma
Complications
• Liver disease and/or
failure which leads to
Jaundice (the yellowing
of the skin, mucous
membranes, and other
parts of the body due
to waste build-up.)
• Insomnia-liver failure
causes a build-up of
urea and increases
tension.
• Seizures (involuntary
convulsions)
• Retrograde amnesia
(cannot remember
things before the injury)
Dietary Modification
• Limit foods high in sugar
and concentrated sweets.
Eating these foods can
cause a rapid increase in
blood glucose. This may
lead to excessive increase
of insulin, resulting in a
rapid fall in blood glucose.
Reduce intake of foods and drinks that have
caffeine.
• Caffeine stimulates the
production of adrenaline
and can cause the same
symptoms as
hypoglycemia.
Try to eat every 3 to 4 hours.
• Eating many small
meals and snacks each
day rather than 3 larger
meals can help to
regulate the amount of
glucose in your
bloodstream.
Choose whole grains and increase high fiber
foods.
• Whole grains take
longer to break down.
This helps to keep blood
glucose levels more
consistent.
Enjoy foods high in healthy fats in small
amounts throughout the day.
• Fats are also digested
slowly and can help to
balance the blood sugar.
