Excerpt
Hypoglycemia is uncommon in people who are not being treated for diabetes mellitus. Low blood glucose concentrations lead to adrenergic activation and neuroglycopenia (Table 1). Symptomatic hypoglycemia is diagnosed clinically using Whipple’s triad: symptoms of hypoglycemia, plasma glucose concentration<55 mg/dl (3.0 mmol/l), and resolution of those symptoms after the plasma glucose concentration is raised. Capillary blood glucose measurements should not be used in the evaluation of hypoglycemia due to poor accuracy.
