Nighttime hypoglycemia of 3.1 mmol per liter is normal in healthy people, and diabetics with symptoms below 3.9 mmol per liter need to drink some sugar water as soon as possible, and in severe cases, hypertonic glucose is pushed immediately in the hospital to avoid serious complications. Symptoms do not improve can be repeated injections, and at the same time give 5% to 10% glucose solution static drip.
Once in a while, it cannot be excluded that hypoglycemia is induced by improper diet, exertion, etc. Frequent occurrences need to exclude the presence of diabetic lesions or improper medication for diabetics. Regular fasting and postprandial glucose and nocturnal glucose testing is recommended to clarify the presence of symptoms of diabetes.
The main fear of diabetics is hypoglycemia, with major symptoms such as sweating, panic, weakness, pallor, and cold hands, and in severe cases, coma, blurred consciousness, and incontinence may occur. Therefore, in elderly diabetic patients, the control of blood sugar must be advocated smoothly.
Usually pay attention to a regular diet with small and frequent meals. Avoid overexertion, don’t diet too much at dinner, and keep nutrition balanced. The patient with hypoglycemia has sugar cubes at home, which can be replenished in time if necessary.
