treatment of hypoglycemia in diabetes
The treatment of hypoglycemia in diabetes refers to the actions taken to increase low blood sugar levels in individuals with diabetes. This may involve consuming a source of glucose or sugar, such as juice or candy, to quickly raise blood sugar levels and alleviate symptoms. In severe cases, injection of glucagon, a hormone that stimulates the liver to release stored glucose, may be needed. Ultimately, prompt and appropriate treatment is vital to prevent further complications and maintain proper blood sugar balance.
