Hypoglycemia is more harmful to human body, especially to elderly patients, than hyperglycemia. The main hazards of hypoglycemia are:
1, hypoglycemia, the increase of adrenaline, glucocorticoid, glucagon and growth hormone in the body, leading to reactive blood sugar (Sumujie effect), causing blood sugar fluctuations and aggravating the condition.
2. Long-term repeated severe hypoglycemia attacks can lead to irreversible damage to the central nervous system, causing personality variation, mental disorders, dementia and so on.
3. Hypoglycemia can also stimulate the cardiovascular system and promote arrhythmia, myocardial infarction and stroke.
4, hypoglycemia coma for too long was not found can lead to death.
Hypoglycemia is one of the emergencies of diabetes, which should be dealt with actively:
1, early hypoglycemia only has symptoms such as sweating, palpitation, fatigue and hunger. When awake, patients can drink sugar water or eat cookies or snacks with more sugar.
2. If the patient's consciousness changes, 40-60ml of 50% glucose should be injected intravenously. In severe cases, continuous intravenous drip of 10% glucose can be used.
3. Glucagon can be used by intramuscular injection of glucagon 1mg, but the price of glucagon is higher.
It should be noted that patients treated with Baicaiping should take glucose orally or intravenously if hypoglycemia occurs.
If you are not a diabetic, you can take some sweets, chocolates and various desserts with you and eat them at any time when you are sick. If you have diabetes, you can eat less sugar and try to eat salty snacks. If you often get this disease, you should go to the hospital to see a specialist.
