How long does hypoglycemia last?

The survival period of hypoglycemia and the absolute value of hypoglycemia, as well as how long the hypoglycemia lasts, the speed of decline, the cause of hypoglycemia and the age of the patient are determined. If the blood sugar is slightly reduced, it generally does not affect the life span. If the blood sugar is a severe reduction, it has caused the patient to show mental disorder or even coma, which may affect the life span and may be life-threatening at any time. If the hypoglycemia lasts for a long time, usually more than 6 hours, it may cause irreversible damage to brain cells, and the patient will show a more serious condition that affects life expectancy. If the hypoglycemia is temporary hypoglycemia caused by the use of hypoglycemic drugs, there will be no consequences if it is corrected in time. If hypoglycemia is caused by a systemic disease, such as heart failure, kidney failure, or a tumor-related disease, it is often accompanied by a severe primary disease and a shorter life span. If the elderly show a rapid drop in blood sugar, it can also be life-threatening.
