Hypoglycaemia (Low Blood Sugar) Treatment in Johor Bahru

Hipoglisemia (Gula Darah Rendah)

Hypoglycaemia occurs when blood glucose drops below 4.0 mmol/L, depriving the brain and body of essential fuel. It is most common in people with diabetes taking insulin or sulfonylurea medications, but can also occur in non-diabetics due to prolonged fasting, excessive alcohol intake, or rare conditions such as insulinoma. Symptoms can range from mild sweating and shakiness to severe confusion and loss of consciousness. Prompt recognition and treatment is life-saving. People with recurrent hypoglycaemia need their diabetes treatment reviewed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I eat to treat low blood sugar?▼

For mild hypoglycaemia, consume 15-20g of fast-acting carbohydrates immediately: 150-200ml of fruit juice or regular soft drink, 4-5 glucose tablets, or 3-4 teaspoons of sugar dissolved in water. Recheck blood sugar after 15 minutes and repeat if still below 4.0 mmol/L. Follow with a snack or meal.

Can hypoglycaemia occur in people without diabetes?▼

Yes. Non-diabetic hypoglycaemia can result from prolonged fasting, excessive alcohol, post-gastric bypass surgery, or rare causes such as insulinoma (insulin-secreting pancreatic tumour). Our doctors will investigate recurrent unexplained hypoglycaemia with appropriate tests.

How do I prevent hypoglycaemia at night?▼

Check blood sugar before bedtime. If below 7 mmol/L and you are on insulin, have a small protein-rich snack. Do not skip evening meals. Your doctor at Klinik Muhibbah may adjust your insulin dose or timing. Book a medication review at movo-x.com/kiosk/muhibbah.
