What should you do if you have severe hypoglycemia?

Patient's question:

Because of a certain illness, I have been unable to stop taking medication for a long time. Due to the medication, my endocrine system has become problematic. Now, I want to stop taking the medication and regulate my body. What should I do in case of severe hypoglycemia?

Doctor's answer:

I'm glad to explain your question. I don't know what specific blood sugar value you measured. When hypoglycemia recurs acutely, you can drink some sugary water to relieve it. You can also carry some candies, chocolates, and various desserts with you to eat at any time when an attack occurs. When blood sugar is higher than 2.8 mmol/L, it can also lead to central nervous system depression and brain dysfunction. You should immediately go to the hospital to see a specialist doctor. In daily life, maintain a balanced diet to enhance nutrition, quit smoking and drinking, and avoid excessive and intense physical activity, as these may all lead to hypoglycemia.
