2. Introduction
Diabetic hypoglycemia is a low blood glucose
level occurring in a person with diabetes mellitus.
It is one of the most common types
of hypoglycemia seen in emergency
departments and hospitals.
According to the National Electronic Injury
Surveillance System-All Injury Program (NEISS-AIP),
and based on a sample examined between 2004 and
2005, an estimated 55,819 cases (8.0% of total
admissions) involved insulin, and severe
hypoglycemia is likely the single most common event.
3. In general, hypoglycemia occurs when a treatment to
lower the elevated blood glucose of diabetes inaccurately
matches the body's physiological need, and therefore
causes the glucose to fall to a below-normal level.
Diabetic hypoglycemia can be mild, recognized easily by
the patient, and reversed with a small amount
of carbohydrates eaten or drunk, or it may be severe
enough to cause unconsciousness requiring
intravenous dextrose or an injection of glucagon.
