Does hypoglycemia require intravenous infusion?

Patient's question:

Grandma recently said she has low blood sugar, so she always carries some food with her. If the condition is severe, does low blood sugar require intravenous fluids?

Doctor's answer:

Hello:
I am happy to serve you. According to the situation you described, severe hypoglycemia can lead to fainting or even shock, requiring timely intravenous infusion or intravenous push of 50% glucose. If it is not severe, you can carry sugar cubes, desserts, chocolate, etc. with you. People with hypoglycemia should have meals on time and avoid overeating or extreme hunger to prevent overtime work. Always maintain a regular routine of living, working, and eating. Exercise more in daily life to reduce your immune system.
