Insulin Shock treatment in Benito Juárez

Insulin shock, also called severe hypoglycemia, occurs when the blood sugar level drops markedly, usually in people receiving treatment for diabetes.

When should you seek care? It is a situation that can become urgent: with confusion, cold sweating, intense tremors, fainting, or loss of consciousness, immediate help is required.

What causes it: a mismatch between insulin or medications, food, and physical activity, which brings glucose below safe levels.

Which specialist treats it? The endocrinologist guides long-term diabetes management, while the internist and, in the case of kidney complications, the nephrologist take part in follow-up. Discussing episodes of hypoglycemia with a professional makes it possible to adjust control and prevent new episodes.
