We have already seen that an hypoglycemia is a “low blood sugar”. Also, that if it is not corrected properly, it can cause irreversible brain damage, coma and even death.
When a person with a disease that can cause hypoglycemia changes from seeming fine to showing any of the symptoms we have already seen; the first thing you should consider is that he/she is having a hypo.
In this case, you should confirm it by measuring his/her blood glucose level. If you suspect that the person is low of sugar; you should take the blood sample from the fingertips.
If for any reason you cannot check the blood sugar at that time; you should act as if she/he were actually having a hypoglycemia. And, as soon as possible after treating, you should check their blood glucose.
Taking this into account, we must know how to act depending on the severity of hypoglycemia or severity of its associated symptoms. It’s not the same 58 mg/dl (3.22 mmol/L) than 34 mg/dl (1.89 mmol/L), nor hunger than seizures.
