Hypoglycemia is a common and potentially dangerous complication in
hospitalized patients with diabetes. This phenomenon poses significant
risks, including increased morbidity, extended hospital stays, and even
mortality. The incidence of hypoglycemia is influenced by various factors,
including the type of diabetes, medications used, the patient's overall clinical
condition, and nutritional intake. This article discusses the definition,
causes, risk factors, clinical manifestations, management strategies, and
implications of hypoglycemia in hospitalized patients with diabetes. We
emphasize the importance of individualized care, continuous monitoring,
and collaborative efforts among healthcare providers to mitigate the risks
associated with hypoglycemic events.
