What are the symptoms of hypoglycemia in children?

Some children suffer from hypoglycemia. It should be noted that parents do not need to panic too much when their children have hypoglycemia. Sometimes hypoglycemia is a normal phenomenon in children and this phenomenon can be relieved after eating. If you have hypoglycemia for a long time, you should pay enough attention to it. Children have many symptoms of hypoglycemia, such as dizziness, weakness, drowsiness, and poor appetite. Here is a brief introduction to some of the symptoms of hypoglycemia in children.

Hypoglycemia refers to a blood glucose concentration below 2.77mmol/l (50mg/dl) and is a common complication of diabetic patients treated with oral hypoglycemic drugs or insulin. The early symptoms of hypoglycemia are mainly autonomic nervous system, especially sympathetic nervous system excitement, manifested as palpitations, fatigue, sweating, hunger, pale complexion, tremor, nausea and vomiting, etc. More serious hypoglycemia often has manifestations of central nervous system sugar deficiency, such as confusion, mental disorder, limb paralysis, incontinence, drowsiness, coma, etc. It is worth noting that the manifestations of hypoglycemia in each patient may be different, but for the patient himself, the symptoms of each attack are basically similar. Therefore, diabetic patients and their families should pay attention to identifying the symptoms of hypoglycemia so that timely measures can be taken. If Western medicine doesn't work for your child, I suggest you try Chinese medicine.

There are two main types of clinical manifestations of hypoglycemia. One is the consequence of the excitement of the autonomic nervous system and the release of adrenaline, which often occurs with a sharp drop in blood sugar. The other is due to reduced brain glucose utilization, which often occurs with a slow drop in blood sugar or prolonged hypoglycemia.

When a child has hypoglycemia, it is important to ensure that the child has a regular schedule and that the child participates in appropriate physical exercise. Be alert, many people suffer from hypoglycemia at night, tend to sweat when sleeping at night, and feel dizzy when getting up in the morning. For such children, parents should make sure that they eat well and have enough for dinner, and add appropriate amount of sugar to dinner.
