Methods to improve hypoglycemia are:

1. Adjust the hypoglycemic plan: rationally use insulin or insulin secretagogues and reduce the original dose.

2. Monitor blood sugar regularly, especially when blood sugar fluctuates greatly, the environment, exercise and other factors change, blood sugar should be closely monitored.

3. Let patients fully understand the risk factors that cause hypoglycemia: Eat regular and quantitative meals.

Extended information

Hypoglycemia refers to an adult’s fasting blood glucose concentration below 2.8mmol/L. Diabetic patients can be diagnosed with hypoglycemia when their blood sugar level is ≤3.9 mmol/L. Hypoglycemia is a syndrome characterized by low venous plasma glucose (blood glucose) concentration caused by various causes and clinically characterized by sympathetic nerve excitement and brain cell hypoxia. Symptoms of hypoglycemia usually include sweating, hunger, palpitation, trembling, paleness, etc. In severe cases, there may also be lack of concentration, restlessness, irritability, and even coma.

Recurrent fasting hypoglycemia clinically indicates organic disease; reactive hypoglycemia caused after meals is more common in functional diseases.
