		HYPOGLYCAEMIA DEFINITION Hypoglycaemia is a blood glucose concentration below the normal range of 3.3 to 6.3 mmol/L (60 to 115 mg/dL).
		In cases of severe hypoglycaemia from overdose of insulin or sulphonylureas, continuous infusion of large volumes of concentrated (25 or 50 %) dextrose solutions via a central line may be necessary to maintain euglycaemia.
		Moreover, the onset of hypoglycaemia may be delayed in patients with acute oral hypoglycaemic or insulin overdose.

	Hypoglycaemia of the Newborn
		Neonatal hypoglycaemia is not a medical condition in itself, but a feature of illness or of failure to adapt from the fetal state of continuous transplacental glucose consumption to the extrauterine pattern of intermittent nutrient supply.
		The risk of hypoglycaemia in the neonatal period (Farquhar, 1956) may be reduced by careful control of maternal blood glucose concentration during pregnancy but is still greater in IDM of appropriate weight for gestational age than in the normal neonatal population.
		Hypoglycaemia was detected in 8.1% (24/298) of LGA infants and 14.7% (30/204) of SGA infants.

		When hypoglycaemia occurs late at night or early in the morning, while patient is asleep, it may be unrecognized and the patient stays unarousable the next day.
		The first step of preventing hypoglycaemia is the knowledge of its symptoms before coma sets in.
		Thus, it is necessary to equip close relative or friends and even colleague to recognize the symptoms of hypoglycaemia and initiate early treatment.

	Nocturnal hypoglycaemia in ...
		Four factors were associated with nocturnal hypoglycaemia: (1) younger age, (2) two or more episodes of severe hypoglycaemia from the onset of diabetes, (3) more than 5% of self-measured blood glucose values <3.3 mmol/l in the previous month, and (4) daily insulin doses >0.85 U/kg.
		Nocturnal hypoglycaemia may last for 6 h or more and a striking finding in all studies is that three-quarters of all, even prolonged, episodes are asymptomatic (at least to the patient, but in half of these, the observer can detect an episode from abnormal restlessness, sweating and other signs).
		In children, symptomatic nocturnal hypoglycaemia is terrifying for the parents, and asymptomatic nocturnal hypoglycaemia, especially in very young children, worrying because of concern that it may impair normal brain development and neuropsychological functioning.

	Journal of Diabetes Nursing: Avoidance strategies employed to reduce the risk of hypoglycaemia
		Hypoglycaemia is a much cited fear of people with diabetes; in fact many adopt avoidance strategies to help lessen the risk of hypoglycaemic episodes.
		The mean frequency of hypoglycaemia was 22 events per person; multivariate analysis showed that the frequency was directly and independently associated with reduced health-related quality of life (p<0.05).
		The paper concluded that hypoglycaemia is a frequent adverse event of existing diabetes treatments, especially in younger people with type 1 diabetes.

	British Medical Journal: Non-invasive detection of hypoglycaemia using a novel, fully biocompatible and patient ...
		Intensive research has been devoted to the development of hypoglycaemia alarms, exploiting principles that range from detecting changes in the electroencephalogram or skin conductance (due to sweating) to measurements of subcutaneous tissue glucose concentrations by glucose sensors.[4 5] As yet, however, none has proved sufficiently reliable or unobtrusive to be useful in clinical practice.
		All were clearly able to sense hypoglycaemia accurately under circumstances when the patients themselves were initially unaware of falling glucose levels.
		Hypoglycaemia alarm dogs could provide an important aid to patients with poor awareness of symptoms, particularly those prone to nocturnal episodes or who live alone.

		Hypoglycaemia is more common among people with Type 1 diabetes, who may have up to one or two episodes of mild hypoglycaemia per week.
		If mild hypoglycaemia progresses and the blood glucose level continues to drop, the lack of glucose may impair brain function, causing delirium, seizures (fits*) or loss of consciousness.
		A high early morning blood glucose level sometimes indicates hypoglycaemia during the night - the liver is stimulated to release glucose and 'overcompensates'.

		In 1997, 28 babies (3%) were admitted to JSN with hypoglycaemia as the primary diagnosis.
		Unless the baby is considered at very high risk for hypoglycaemia (ie an infant of a true insulin dependent diabetic mother, is macrosomic or has signs of hypoglycaemia) then SBSL should not be done during this time.
		Mal-adaptive hypoglycaemia can usually be clinically separated from pathological hypoglycaemia by the amount of glucose need to maintain a normal blood sugar.

	Hypoglycaemia (low blood glucose) in non-diabetic people
		Hypoglycaemia or low blood glucose is a condition in which the level of glucose (sugar) in the blood, drops below a certain point (about 2.5mmol/l).
		This form of hypoglycaemia is probably caused by an overproduction of insulin from the pancreas after a large meal with a lot of carbohydrates.
		If hypoglycaemia is suspected with the symptoms similar to those above coming on three to four hours after a meal and going away after eating sugar, it should be confirmed that the symptoms are caused by low blood glucose.

		I have recently started taking insulin and have been told by my care team that I may experience hypoglycaemia.
		Hypoglycaemia (or a ‘hypo’) occurs when the level of glucose in the blood falls too low, usually under 4 mmol/l.
		When this happens the person often experiences ‘warning signs’, which occur as the body tries to raise the blood glucose level.

		The usual way of testing is to take a pinprick of blood from the foot, and to test it with either a reagent strip, which changes colour according to the sugar detected, or with a ward-based or lab-based device which checks for sugar electronically.
