The symptoms of low blood sugar alone are not specific enough to characterize a hypoglycemic episode. [2] A single blood sugar reading below 70 mg/dL is also not specific enough to characterize a hypoglycemic episode. [2] Whipple's triad is a set of three conditions that need to be met to accurately characterize a hypoglycemic episode. [2]
Symptoms of diabetic hypoglycemia, when they occur, are those of hypoglycemia: neuroglycopenic, adrenergic (that is, activating adrenergic receptors, resulting e.g. in fast heartbeat), and abdominal. Symptoms and effects can be mild, moderate or severe, depending on how low the glucose falls and a variety of other factors.
Hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia describes the condition and effects of low blood glucose caused by excessive insulin. Hypoglycemia due to excess insulin is the most common type of serious hypoglycemia. It can be due to endogenous or injected insulin.
Hypoglycemia is a common problem with an increasing incidence in critically ill or extremely low birthweight infants. [1] Its potential association with brain damage and neurodevelopment delay make it an important topic. [1] If not due to maternal hyperglycemia, in most cases it is multifactorial, transient and easily supported. In a minority ...
The risk of developing type 2 diabetes, stroke, and depression may be higher in people with a "sweet tooth" who prefer sugary foods, new research suggests.
The glucose tolerance test was first described in 1923 by Jerome W. Conn. [4]The test was based on the previous work in 1913 by A. T. B. Jacobson in determining that carbohydrate ingestion results in blood glucose fluctuations, [5] and the premise (named the Staub-Traugott Phenomenon after its first observers H. Staub in 1921 and K. Traugott in 1922) that a normal patient fed glucose will ...

Acute (short-term) low blood sugar symptoms are best treated by consuming small amounts of sweet foods, so as to regain balance in the body's carbohydrate metabolism. Suggestions include sugary foods that are quickly digested, such as: Dried fruit; Soft drinks; Juice; Sugar as sweets, tablets or cubes. [25]
