00:01 Hi! Welcome to our video series on hypoglycemia. 00:05 Yeah, we're going to talk about low blood sugar. 00:09 So let's talk about what it is. 00:11 Low blood sugar is a blood glucose that is less than 70. 00:15 So let's say 68, because the blood sugar less than 70 is something that should be treated. 00:22 So normal blood glucose is fasting usually between 70 and a hundred and if I just did a random blood sugar, it should be less than 125. 00:32 Okay. 00:33 So let's back up the tape. 00:34 Sometimes it takes a little bit to get rolling into a topic. 00:38 So we're talking about low blood sugar. 00:42 So for the sake of this conversation, I want you to think about hypoglycemia being less than 70. 00:49 Now how do we get to that number? We're talking about less than 70 because a normal fasting blood sugar is seventy to a hundred. 00:58 So whether you're fasting or not if that blood sugar dips below 70, It likely should be treated. 01:04 I'm going to walk you through what you do, but I want you to have that number set in your brain. 01:10 Now, I normal glucose, is seventy to a hundred if you haven't eaten anything if I'm just randomly checking your glucose. 01:17 I'm not timing it with meals. 01:19 It should be less than 125, if you're not diabetic.
The lecture Hypoglycemia: Introduction (Nursing) by Rhonda Lawes, PhD, RN is from the course Diabetes Type 1 and 2: Complications and Symptoms (Nursing).
