Alert value for hypoglycemia â¤70 mg/dL (â¤3.9 mmol/L) plasma concentration. Severe hypoglycemia: Requires assistance of another person to actively administer carbohydrates, glucagon, or take other corrective actions. Plasma glucose concentrations may not be available during an event.
Hypoglycemia occurs when the body's glucose level (blood sugar) is too low. Glucose is the predominant energy source for cells. In order for the brain to survive, it requires a continuous supply of glucose. In the face of hypoglycemia (glucose less than 40 mg/dl), the insulin level should be less than 5 Î¼U/ml. 2  If the insulin level is greater than 10 Î¼U/ml, further diagnostic evaluation is warranted. 3  A glucagon stimulation test can be both diagnostic and therapeutic in making the diagnosis of hyperinsulinism.
