Know More About Hypo
“Hypo" is the short form of “Hypoglycaemia" meaning low sugar in the blood. This can be potentially dangerous and you need to understand how to recognise hypo, what to do in case you have hypo and how can you avoid that happening again.
How would I feel in Hypo?
The symptoms of hypo usually appear when your blood sugar is around 50 mg or less and this varies from person to person. Initially you will feel sweaty, shaky, hungry and fast heart beat. Everybody may not get all the symptoms. If not corrected in time you may feel confused and drunk. With further lowering of blood sugar you may go into coma
What
should
I
do
if
I
have
Hypo?
If you have glucometer with you better check your sugar. This will confirm the diagnosis because there are so many reasons in day to day life when we do not feel well. If you do not have a glucometer it will be better to eat something so that you can indirectly diagnose whether symptoms get corrected with eating or not.
What to take for hypo?
You can take different things for treating hypo. Some fruit, biscuits, bread, sandwich, milk anything will do. If you are not too much symptomatic or sugar is not very low, it is better to avoid taking sugar simply because if you take too much sugar it will correct your hypo but blood sugar will go very high.
How can I prevent Hypo?
Once
you
have
corrected
hypo
the
most
important
thing
to
do
is
to
find
out
why
your
sugar
dropped.
Then
only
you
can
take
action
to
prevent
another
hypo.
The
commonest
cause
of
hypo
is
mismatch
of
food
and
treatment.
If
you
have
taken
Insulin
and
delayed
your
meal
or
missed
a
snack,
your
sugar
may
drop.
Remember
if
your
Diabetes
is
very
well
controlled
you
are
likely
to
get
hypo
if
you
miss
snack,
meal
or
delay
meal.
If
you
have
taken
less
food
for
some
reason
or
other,
you
have
done
unusual
exercise
and
taken
the
same
treatment
your
sugar
may
drop.
Hypo
also
can
happen
when
kidney
is
affected
by
Diabetes
or
thyroid
is
underactive,
your
doctor
is
the
best
person
to
help
you
out
on
this.
Hypo
with
tablet
and
Insulin
is
different
because
tablets
may
remain
active
in
the
body
for
longer
time,
may
be
even
for
48
hours.
So
you
need
observation
in
hospital
in
case
of
hypo
while
on
tablet.
