Overview

Main signs of hypoglycemia are attacks of diaphoresis, tachycarida, tachypnea, hypertension, hypothermia and neurological deficits.

Physical examination

Appearance

  • Macrosomia in infancy usually indicates hyperinsulinism.
  • In older children and adults, moderately severe hypoglycemia can resemble mania, mental illness, drug intoxication, or drunkenness. In the elderly, hypoglycemia can produce focal stroke-like effects or a hard-to-define malaise. The symptoms of a single person do tend to be similar from episode to episode.
