Hypoglycemic crisis

A hypoglycemic crisis (also known as insulin shock) happens when an imbalance in the body of the patient with diabetes arises for any of several reasons, such as when the patient takes too much of his or her insulin, takes a regular dose of insulin but does not eat or has exercised vigorously and has depleted his or her body of available glucose.

When insulin levels remain high, glucose is rapidly taken out of the blood to fuel the cells. If glucose levels fall, an insufficient amount to supply the brain maybe available. Hypoglycemic patients may be experienced permanent cerebral damage if blood glucose levels are not restored rapidly.

Left untreated a hypoglycemic crisis can rapidly cause unconsciousness, permanent brain damage, and death.
