Starvation hypoglycemia is mostly caused by not eating for a long time or over-exercising, and can usually be quickly replenished by eating glucose or other sugary foods.
Starvation hypoglycemia can be characterized by panic, hunger, and sweating, and is usually caused by not consuming enough carbohydrates in a timely manner or by excessive exercise.
Hypoglycemic episodes, especially if accompanied by altered mental status, should be treated quickly to avoid irreversible brain damage. Glucose is usually the most rapid and effective treatment, with glucose water or sugary food by mouth for mild cases, and 50% glucose intravenously for severe cases, especially in those with altered mental status, and repeated if necessary.
It is recommended that patients with starvation hypoglycemia should go to regular hospitals for timely consultation, complete relevant examinations, and standardize the treatment under the guidance of doctors to avoid delaying the condition or causing adverse reactions.
