What is hypoglycemia reaction

Many people have experienced hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia seriously affects our health and poses a great threat to our life safety. Sometimes we may not pay attention to it. Sometimes we always think that dizziness is no big deal. It may be a cold or lack of rest, so we ignore hypoglycemia, which leads to serious illness. For the sake of our own health, we must seek medical attention in time if there are problems. Let us understand the reaction of hypoglycemia.

Symptoms of a low blood sugar reaction usually develop very quickly, and you may only experience 1 or 2 of the following symptoms.

· Dizziness, headache · Palpitations, tremors

· Excessive hunger, sweating · Paleness, chills

· Changes or abnormalities in behavior (such as fussiness, crying, irritability, aggression)

Numbness of lips and tingling sensation General fatigue and blurred vision

In severe cases,

· Confusion and convulsions · Drowsiness or even coma, which is life-threatening

These symptoms are signs that your blood sugar level may be too low. Although some people will not experience any symptoms even if their blood sugar levels drop very low, or will experience hypoglycemia even if their blood sugar levels are not lower than 50 mg/dl (2.8 mmol/L), you must seek treatment immediately because hypoglycemia occurs quickly, without warning, and is extremely harmful to the body.

Emergency treatment for hypoglycemia

Diabetic patients cannot predict when hypoglycemia will occur. Hypoglycemia may occur at any time and place, such as at home, in the office, on the street, while driving, or on the beach. Once a hypoglycemic reaction occurs, the patient should immediately put down the work in hand and eat sugary food or drink as soon as possible. The emergency measure for treating common hypoglycemia reactions is to consume food or drink containing 15 to 20 grams of glucose.

The following are food portions containing 15 to 20 g of glucose: 280 to 380 mL of cola, 250 to 340 mL of orange juice, 210 to 280 mL of orange soda, 30 g of bread, and 3 to 4 BD glucose tablets. It is advisable to rest for 10 to 15 minutes after eating. If you still feel unwell after 15 minutes, you can eat some sugary foods such as fruits, biscuits, bread, etc. If the hypoglycemia reaction continues, the patient should be immediately sent to a medical room, first aid station or hospital for emergency treatment.

After understanding the reactions of hypoglycemia, many people with hypoglycemia will think about buying which kind of medicine is more effective. However, relying solely on drug treatment is not enough. Taking too much medicine will cause dependence, which is also bad for the body. In fact, diet is also very important. We must actively adjust our diet to ensure nutrient absorption, and we must also strengthen physical exercise.
