Symptom 15: Loss of Consciousness or Coma – When You Slip Away
In extreme cases of low blood sugar, a person may lose consciousness or even fall into a coma. This occurs when the brain is deprived of glucose for an extended period, leading to a complete shutdown of its functions.
Loss of consciousness or coma due to low blood sugar is a medical emergency that requires immediate attention. If you or someone you know loses consciousness due to low blood sugar, call emergency services immediately.
To prevent loss of consciousness or coma related to low blood sugar, maintain a regular eating schedule with balanced meals and snacks. If you have diabetes, work with your healthcare provider to develop a personalized blood sugar management plan that helps maintain stable blood sugar levels and minimizes the risk of hypoglycemia.
