2022年12月26日 · Determine the pathophysiology of hypoglycemia. Identify the diagnostic approach to determine if a patient has hypoglycemia. Evaluate the management options available for hypoglycemia treatment.

Hypoglycemia is defined as a condition where plasma glucose concentration is low, which may expose patients to possible harm. This is common amongst persons who have type 1 diabetes, with an annual incidence of severe hypoglycemia ranging from 3.3% to 13.5%.

2006年7月1日 · The threat and incidence of hypoglycemia is the major limiting factor in intensive glycemic control for both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. This article reviews the physiology of the normal counterregulatory responses to hypoglycemia and the deficient counterregulatory defenses that occur in patients with diabetes.

This review summarises the current understanding of the pathophysiology of hypoglycaemia, the body's counter‐regulatory response, underlying aetiologies, diagnosis and treatment.

Hypoglycemia, or low plasma glucose level can result in sympathetic nervous system stimulation and central nervous system dysfunction. In patients with diabetes who take insulin or antihyperglycemic treatment, hypoglycemia is common and is …

2024年7月18日 · Hypoglycemia is characterized by a reduction in plasma glucose concentration to a level that may induce symptoms or signs such as altered mental status and/or sympathetic nervous system...

Hypoglycaemia, sometimes called a hypo or low, is a condition that occurs when a person’s blood glucose level (BGL) has dropped too low, below 4mmol/L. Glucose is the body's main energy source [1]. Hypoglycemia is more dangerous than hyperglycemia.

2018年5月5日 · Glucose is an obligate fuel for the brain under physiologic conditions. In order to maintain proper brain function, plasma glucose must be maintained within a relatively narrow range. Redundant counter-regulatory mechanisms are in …

2000年12月1日 · Understanding brain glucose handling is a cardinal requirement to understanding the intricacies of the pathophysiology and treatment of hypoglycemia. The brain is the major consumer of glucose in the body in the fasting state.

2022年12月26日 · Hypoglycemia is often defined by a plasma glucose concentration below 70 mg/dL; however, signs and symptoms may not occur until plasma glucose concentrations drop below 55 mg/dL. The symptoms of Whipple's triad have …
