INTRODUCTIO
N
(1) symptoms consistent with the
diagnosis
(2)symptoms associated with a low glucose
level,
usually <50 mg/dL (<2.7 mmol/L)
(3)symptoms resolve with glucose
administration
It is clinically defined as
follows:
WHIPPL
E
• Normal :70-99mg/dL , PP:
140mg/dL
• Plasma glucose is normally
maintained at 3.6-5.8mmol/L
• Cognitive deteriorates at levels
<3.0mmol/L
• Symptoms are uncommon
>2.5mmol/L
FAC
TS
Human brain depends on glucose
as its
primary source of energy
It is unable to synthesize or store
glucose (accounting for the common
manifestation of hypoglycemia as altered
mental status)
Physiologic response to low blood
glucose
suppression of insulin secretion
release of the counter-
regulatory hormones
Renal clearance of insulin decreases
with age, and this may enhance the
risk of hypoglycemia in the elderly.
CAUS
ES
In diabetics, the commonest cause is
a relative imbalance of administered
versus required insulin/OHA
Common scenarios in
diabetics:
- inadequate/delayed food
intake
- excessive insulin
administration
- increased physical exertion
- change in drug therapy
- drug interactions
- sudden reduction in diet
Other causes
are:
• Alcohol
• Addison’s disease
• Pituitary insufficiency
• Post gastric surgery
• Liver failure
• Malaria
• Insulinomas
• Extra-pancreatic tumors
• Attempted suicide/homicide (with large
doses of insulin/OHAs)

Medical conditions that
can be mistaken for

• Stroke
• Transient ischemic
attack
• Seizure disorder
• Traumatic head injury
• Brain tumor
• Narcolepsy
• Multiple sclerosis
• Psychosis
• Sympathomimetic
drug ingestion
• Hysteria
• Altered sleep patterns
and
nightmares
• Depressio

DIAGNOSIS
The diagnosis can
easily be
confirmed using
bedside glucose
Hypoglycemia should always be
considered early as there is a potential
cause of altered mental status
Can mimic any neurological
presentations:
com
a
seizur
es
acute confusion
isolated
Failure to determine the blood glucose level early in
the evaluation can result in a delayed or missed
diagnosis with associated morbidity because of
CNS injury or unnecessary invasive procedures
TREATMENT
Depends on conscious state
and
degree of cooperation of patient
1) 5-15g fast acting oral
carbohydrate
(eg: Lucozade, sugar lumps, Dextrosol, followed by biscuits
& milk)
2) Glucagon 1mg: SC, IM
or IV
– Can be administered by relatives or ambulance crew if
difficult
venous access.
– Response to this is slower than IV dextrose, need 7-
10min until normal mental status
– Will not work with alcoholics, elderly & depleted glycogen
store
3) Glucose 10% solution 50ml IV
repeated at 1-2min interval until patient fully
conscious
4) Glucose 50% solution
hypertonic & no more effective than glucose 10%
(if used, give into large vein & follow with saline flush)
5) Octreotide (synthetic analog of somatostatin)
– Inhibit release of insulin
– Used in treatment of sulfonylurea-induced
hypoglycaemia
– Only consider if doesn’t respond to dextrose
WARNING!
Persistence of an altered
conscious level
• Suggest underlying pathology
(stroke), development of
cerebral edema due to
hypoglycaemia (high mortality)
• Maintain plasma glucose at 7-
11mmol/L
• Contact ICU & consider
mannitol or
dexamethasone
• CT scan
DISCHARGE
90% patient fully recover in
20 minutes
When hypoglycemic cause is
identified & fully corrected, patient
can be discharged after observation
at ED & appropriate follow up.
Arrange follow up having considered the
following:
Why did this episode occur?
Has there been any recent change of
regimen, other drugs, alcohol, etc?
Is the patient developing hypoglycemic
unawareness or autonomic dysfunction?
