'Hypo', hypoglycemia means low blood sugar level, - the concentration of glucose in the blood falls below the necessary level.
While it could be a side effect of some anti-diabetic medication, most likely occurs in insulin-dependent diabetics. Causing factors can be higher than necessary dose of insulin, vigorous exercise - as the body uses more glucose, skipped meal, or the presence of some illnesses. Excessive alcohol intake also can lead to hypoglyceamia.
It is important to know the signs of hypoglycemia, as if glucose is supplied (either by taking fruit juice, soft drink, sweets, or glucose tablets), blood glucose level can normalise. That can be done by the diabetic person him- or herself. However, if the glucose level falls significantly, the patient can become comatose, and in that stage it is vital to interfere.
If the patient have a tendency for 'hypo's, he/she is advised to keep an emergency glucagon injection, which should be administered without delay if the person became comatose. This injection is allowed to be given by a non-medical person, such as family member or friends for example.
Because of the seriousness of the situation, diabetics, their family, care persons, friends should be aware of the signs of impending hypoglycaemia.
