In clinical work, I will tell every diabetic patient: Severe hypoglycemia must be avoided and repeated hypoglycemia should be avoided . Today, I will emphasize it again to readers and friends, because hypoglycemia is more dangerous than tigers.
As we all know, the onset and treatment of diabetes is a slow process, and it takes a long time for complications to appear, and it may take decades or decades to develop complications. If the disease is well controlled, it can be life-long without complications. What can cause serious damage in a short period of time is hypoglycemia .
Many people who have experienced severe hypoglycemia will say that they will never forget that Feelings: Not a pounding feeling, but severe anxiety, irritability, sweating, marked hunger, repeated attacks, The above symptoms will gradually decrease.
For example, when hypoglycemia begins, the blood sugar is more than 4 o’clock and 5 o’clock, although the heart palpitations and sweating, but the activities are not affected, eat something, after supplementing glucose It was quickly corrected, and it was basically able to save itself without danger.
But if the hypoglycemia recurs, the palpitations, sweating, and hunger will no longer be felt Obviously, sometimes the blood sugar of more than 2 o’clock is monitored, and there is no discomfort, and even the blood sugar of more than 1 o’clock does not have any symptoms.
With such low blood sugar, coma and mental disorders may occur at any time. At this time, it is more critical and life-threatening.
Of course, this is an extreme phenomenon, not every patient will have it, The purpose of emphasizing this matter for everyone today is:
1. The goal of blood sugar control varies from person to person< /span>
Remind everyone that when controlling blood sugar, it must be different from person to person, individual differences are large, and medical history and complications are different, and you cannot refer to other people’s drugs, programs and other situations;

2. Try to avoid repeated hypoglycemia events
Because many friends are still It is accustomed to measuring fasting, but not measuring blood sugar after meals and before going to bed. If you do not monitor, you will not know what blood sugar level is. You must monitor it frequently.
In the event of recurrent (1-2 hypoglycemia per week) episodes, Find the cause as soon as possible to avoid recurrence, and must not allow repeated hypoglycemia events.
Here are several common causes of low blood sugar for your reference: p>
1. Excessive insulin dose;
2. Oral sulfonylurea or glinide Inappropriate medication;
3. Excessive exercise/activity;
< span>4. Not eating on time, or eating too little;
