dc.description.abstractHypoglycaemia remains the most common and serious iatrogenic cause of morbidity in diabetic patients. It is de?ned as blood glucose of less than 54mg/dl with neuroglycopenic symptoms or less than 40mg/dl in the absence of symptoms. The present cross-sectional study was conducted over a period of one year from 1st November 2019 to 31st October 2020 on 100 patients admitted with hypoglycaemia in Department of Medicine Government Medical College Jammu and Associated Hospitals. The detailed history, clinical examinations and relevant laboratory investigations was conducted in all patients. The means and standard deviations of the measurements per group were used for statistical analysis (SPSS 22.00). In our study, out of 100 subjects, 77 were male and 23 were female. Hence there was predominance of males in our study. The maximum subjects belonged to 41-60 years (51%) followed by >60 years (36%). In this study, 71% and 29% of the subjects were diabetic and non-diabetic respectively in the present study. Means RBS among the diabetic and non-diabetic subjects was 38.89±7.98 and 40.21±6.73 respectively with statistically insigni?cant difference as p>0.05. It was concluded that hypoglycemia is mainly medication related in diabetics and infection is the leading cause in nondiabetics. This problem needs to be addressed by treating physician from the perspective of patient education, and possibly by modi?cation of medications as well. None of the patients should leave ED without proper evaluation of the etiology of hypoglycemia and the problem should be addressed at each individual level.en_US
