Under results of a new study, hypoglycemia, which is a drop in levels of blood sugar, and is severe enough to cause seizures or coma in young children with type 1 diabetes (those who develop the disease very early in life) does not appear to result in impairments in mental ability or behavior.
After compare 41 type 1 diabetic adolescents and children -who had a history of hypoglycemia with coma or seizure- to 43 similar diabetic subjects but without a history of severe hypoglycemic events, findings demonstrate that a subgroup of patients who had early first seizure showed more episodes of hypoglycemic seizure or coma in comparison to those who experienced a seizure at an older age.
The team applied different tests of learning and memory, but also intellectual and behavioral tests.
The main conclusion of the aforementioned report is that results provide “some reassurance to those treating children with type 1 diabetes with intensive treatment that seizures/coma at a young age does not necessarily result in gross cognitive or behavioral impairment”.
Diabetes and Hypoglycemia
Executive summary about Diabetes Hypoglycemia By Dan S Wilson
Hypoglycemia is one such problem, and something that affects people with diabetes. Hypoglycemia is another of saying low blood sugar, and it is a problem that affects everyone with diabetes from time to time.
Hypoglycemia is sometimes called insulin reaction. So, for this reason, it is important to know the signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia (low blood glucose levels) when they happen.
There are many different signs and symptoms that can indicate low blood sugar levels, and they include: dizziness, shakiness, sweating, feelings of hunger, pale skin, headaches, sudden changes in mood or behavior like crying for no apparent reason, confusion or difficulty paying attention to anything, seizures, clumsiness or jerky movements, tingling or similar sensations around the mouth.
Checking your blood sugar levels often is the best way to stay on top of your diabetes and be aware of when your levels are getting too low so you can correct the problem before it gets any worse. Ask your doctor how often you should be checking your blood glucose levels and what the levels should be, then stick to that schedule as much as possible but always check it right away if you feel any of the symptoms of hypoglycemia coming on so you can treat. If you think you feel a reaction coming on, but you can’t check your levels, then it is best to treat anyway to be safe.
