Introduction to the symptoms of hypoglycemia

I believe that many people may encounter the symptoms of hypoglycemia in life. Usually patients will show symptoms such as hunger, pale complexion, dizziness, fatigue, or mental disorders. We must pay attention to symptomatic adjustment and treatment.

1. Symptoms of hypoglycemia: easy hunger

Early symptoms of hypoglycemia include sweating, palpitations, fatigue, hunger, etc. When the patient is conscious, you can give the patient sugar water to drink, or eat biscuits or snacks high in sugar. If the blood sugar level in the human body is too low, it is easy for the individual to feel a strong sense of hunger. Excess insulin in the body can cause low blood sugar, and cells cannot get enough glucose, so the brain will send hunger signals. There may also be a series of complications such as fatigue, sweating, hunger, pale complexion, tremor, nausea and vomiting.

2. Symptoms of hypoglycemia: pale complexion

When the blood sugar level in the human body is lower than 2.8mmol/L, people will experience hypoglycemia reactions, such as hunger, panic, sweating, fatigue, pale complexion, etc. If the human body suffers from hypoglycemia for a long time, the patient will have mental and consciousness disorders, unable to find the place, poor memory, and even talk nonsense, looking like a mental patient. If blood sugar is lower or hypoglycemia persists for a longer period of time, mental and consciousness disorders will occur, and the function of the central nervous system will be obviously abnormal. Symptoms include headache, dizziness, restlessness, language disorders, sudden loss of orientation and recognition, or mental disorders, which may further lead to convulsions, hemiplegia, drowsiness, suppressed breathing and blood pressure, and even death.

3. Symptoms of hypoglycemia: brain damage

The main symptom of hypoglycemia is impaired brain function (neurogenic hypoglycemia). When blood sugar is too low, the brain doesn't get enough glucose and therefore can't perform some of its normal functions, which can cause dizziness, drowsiness, confusion, slurred speech, and other symptoms. If the condition worsens, the patient will develop a group of symptoms that damage the functions of higher nervous centers, manifested as personality changes, impaired consciousness, neurological disorders, blurred vision, convulsions of the hands and feet, drowsiness, coma and other serious consequences. Neurogenic hypoglycemia often occurs slowly and unnoticed.
