title: Hypoglycemia management in nondiabetic adults at the end of life #291.
abstract: Hypoglycemia can be both an uncomfortable symptom and a life-limiting condition. In patients with altered mental status who have a fair to good functional capacity, this could significantly detract from their ability to enjoy life. There are a variety of treatment options, including corrective action and management of the side effects of the adrenergic discharge that should be considered, as long as they are consistent with the patient’s goals of care and comfort.
