Hypoglycemia is a medical term that refers to a
pathologic state produced by a lower than normal amount of sugar
(glucose) in the blood. Hypoglycemia literally means "low blood sugar".
Hypoglycemia can produce a variety of symptoms but, the principal
problems arises from an inadequate supply of glucose as fuel to the
brain, resulting in the impairment of function (neuroglycopenia).
Complications can vaguely range from "feeling bad" to coma, and
permanent brain damage or death. It can arise from many causes and occur
at any age. For more information on low urine output, adrenal pituitary
hypoglycemia hypotension, read The
Basics Of Low Blood Pressure.
Low urine output adrenal pituitary hypoglycemia hypotension occurs in its most
common forms of moderate and severe hypoglycemia, as a complication of
treatment of diabetes mellitus with insulin or oral medications.
Endocrinologists (specialists in disorders of blood glucose metabolism)
typically consider the following criteria (referred to as Whipple's
triad), to prove that an individual's symptoms can be attributed to
hypoglycemia:
A) Low glucose at the time the symptoms occur.
B) Reversal or improvement of symptoms or problems when the glucose is
restored to normal.
However, these diagnostic criteria have not
been universally accepted. For many purposes, plasma glucose levels
below 70 mg/dl or 3.9 mol/L are considered to be hypoglycemic. Low blood
pressure measurements show the causes of blood pressure. In fact, blood
pressure measurement in the form of blood pressure information and blood
pressure charts help you administer the perfect blood pressure
medication.
