Hypoglycemia is the name of the emergency caused by low blood sugar. It can result in confusion, unconsciousness, and when severe, seizures and brain damage. Treatment is giving glucose, typically in an IV, if unconscious. If the patient is still awake and is found to have low blood sugar, giving them something sugary to drink, such as juice, can help prevent them from losing consciousness.
