Diabetics have to take glucose-lowering medication every day, and if they don't control the dose and take too much glucose-lowering medication, thus triggering hypoglycemia, what signals will be sent out at this time?
Hunger. When a diabetic's blood sugar is too low, he or she will feel very hungry and especially want to eat. When this happens abnormally, it is important to check if you are taking too much glucose-lowering medication and take prompt action.
Weakness. Diabetics take too much glucose-lowering drugs, resulting in hypoglycemia will cause weakness in the limbs, may not be able to stand or walk, and may lead to coma in severe cases. If a coma condition occurs, it can lead to a life-threatening condition.
Irritability. When the patient's blood sugar is too low, he or she may be inexplicably irritable and angry. When this happens they should eat appropriately to help their blood sugar return to normal, thus easing their mood.
Rapid heartbeat. Patients who have taken too much hypoglycemic drugs, when the blood sugar is too low may have a rapid heartbeat, very difficult, which in turn leads to cardiac arrhythmia, and in severe cases may suddenly faint.
Nausea. Diabetics with out-of-control blood sugar and a rapid heartbeat can cause nausea and dry heaves. This is due to an imbalance within the body that requires timely energy to keep the body functioning properly. It may be life threatening.
Excessive sweating. The low blood sugar will cause the patient to sweat a lot, which may be severe enough to wet the clothes, and the patient will also feel very weak and unable to stand or walk.
So good control of blood sugar is very important for diabetics, eating glucose-lowering drugs must control the dose, otherwise it may lead to danger, leading to dizziness, nausea, irritability, vomiting, excessive sweating, and so on, the seriousness of the coma, or even loss of a life-threatening.
