Overview

Hypoglycemic symptoms and manifestations can be divided into those produced by the counterregulatory hormones: adrenergic Manifestations: anxiety, nervousness, tremor, Palpitations, Sweating, coldness. Glucagon Manifestations: Hunger, nausea, vomiting. Neuroglycopenic Manifestations: irritability, weakness, apathy, lethargy Confusion, amnesia.

History and symptoms

  • Hypoglycemic symptoms and manifestations can be divided into those produced by the counterregulatory hormones (adrenaline and glucagon) triggered by the falling glucose and the neuroglycopenic effects produced by the reduced brain sugar.
  • The attacks may occur in the fasting or postprandial state.
  • Because of hypoglycemia unawareness, patients can't correct hypoglycemia themselves and need help from the observer.

Common symptoms:

Adrenergic Manifestations [1][2]

Glucagon Manifestations

Less common symptoms:

Neuroglycopenic Manifestations [3][4]
