hypoglycaemia
 
   

Hypoglycaemia describes the situation of an abnormally low plasma glucose concentration.

It may be defined biochemically as a plasma glucose of less than 2.5 mmol/l (although the threshold for symptoms is variable); note that a BM stix estimation may be subject to user error and it is always wiser to obtain a lab estimation.
