Overview

This guideline provides ED clinicians with a structured protocol for managing hypoglycemia—a condition of dangerously low blood sugar levels—particularly in type 1 diabetes. It covers initial assessment, necessary labs, treatment options from oral glucose to IV dextrose or glucagon, and post-treatment monitoring with insulin adjustment and follow-up to prevent recurrence.
