The harm of hypoglycemia?

Hypoglycemia can cause damage to brain cells. Because the energy metabolism of brain tissue depends entirely on the glucose in the blood, the glucose stored in brain tissue is very limited, which can only maintain the function of brain cells for five to ten minutes. Therefore, when hypoglycemia occurs, the glucose in the blood is reduced, and of course, the glucose entering the brain tissue is also reduced. In this case, the brain tissue is very vulnerable to damage, If hypoglycemic coma lasts more than 6 hours, brain cells will be seriously damaged, which can lead to dementia, and even, even after treatment, brain tissue can not return to normal.

Hypoglycemia, as the name suggests, means that the blood sugar content in the human body is lower than the healthy value that the human body should contain blood sugar. Hypoglycemia long-term repeated attacks and do not pay attention to the treatment of people will have a lot of harm, the most common is to cause irreparable damage to the brain central nervous system, resulting in brain dysfunction.

Severe hypoglycemia, often suddenly lose consciousness, coma, family members do not pay attention and delay medical treatment, there will be a lot of complications. Such as anxiety, shaking, palpitations, sweating, hunger, dyskinesia, coma and convulsions. There may be brain death or even loss of life.

matters needing attention

Hypoglycemia, especially in elderly patients with diabetes, is more harmful than hyperglycemia. The elderly are not sensitive to the attack of hypoglycemia, they can not feel the symptoms when hypoglycemia occurs, and most of the elderly have cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Once hypoglycemia is not found in time, it often leads to very serious consequences. Although the harm of hypoglycemia is greater, more attention can be controlled. Daily blood glucose monitoring, reasonable adjustment of patients' daily diet and exercise, regular inspection to the hospital, listen to the doctor's advice, take medicine on time.
