Can the elderly die of hypoglycemia coma?

Hypoglycemic coma is a severe hypoglycemic reaction. When hypoglycemic coma occurs, brain cells are relatively sensitive to ischemia and hypoxia because the energy required by the brain is almost entirely dependent on glucose decomposition, but the ability of brain cells to store glucose is extremely limited. According to statistics, each gram of brain tissue stores only about 0.5 mg of glucose. According to the needs of normal brain cell metabolism, this amount of glucose can only maintain normal central nervous system activity for 5~10 minutes. More than 6 hours of hypoglycemia coma, brain cells will show irreversible damage, showing brain death. Hypoglycemia for too long without timely treatment will lead to death. In addition, hypoglycemia coma can also induce cerebral infarction, angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, painless myocardial infarction, sudden cardiac death, etc. Hypoglycemia can not be treated in time, will lead to heart failure and brain death. Therefore, severe hypoglycemia reaction will lead to death, to timely treatment.
