Hypoglycemia is manifested by:
1. Blood glucose level less than 60 mg/dL.
2. Polydipsia.
3. Blood glucose level of 60-75 mg/dL
4. Polyuria.
Blood glucose level less than 60 mg/dL.
Rationale: The manifestations of hypoglycemia result from a compensatory autonomic nervous system (ANS) response and from impaired cerebral function due to a decrease in glucose available for use by the brain. The manifestations vary, particularly in older adults. The onset is sudden, and blood glucose is usually less than 45 to 60 mg/dL. Severe hypoglycemia may cause death.
