Insulin, being one of the most important hormones in the body, helps in regulating the sugar levels in the body by providing the cells with enough glucose to function properly.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;There are two types of diabetes:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Type-1 (dependent on external insulin)<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Type-2 (not dependent on external insulin)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A diabetic emergency is when the body experiences fluctuations in sugar levels, either too high or too low. Both conditions are extremely dangerous and must be taken care of with first aid for diabetes, and in extreme conditions must be taken to a hospital.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Causes_and_Types_of_Diabetic_Emergency\"><\/span><b>Causes and Types of Diabetic Emergency<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;As mentioned above, both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes prevent the body from managing sugar levels effectively. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition where the immune system destroys the cells that produce insulin, whereas Type 2 diabetes reduces the ability to use the insulin produced.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;A diabetic emergency can emerge due to fluctuations in sugar levels, but at times, diabetes complications too can create an emergency. Here are the types of common times when a person needs first aid for diabetes:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"335\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/shutterstock_1283933443.jpg\" alt=\"diabetic emergency\" class=\"wp-image-7944\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/shutterstock_1283933443.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/shutterstock_1283933443-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/shutterstock_1283933443-420x235.jpg 420w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hypoglycemia\"><\/span><b>Hypoglycemia<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hypoglycemia occurs when blood sugar levels become lower than the normal range. Usually, the condition is diagnosed as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/hypoglycemia-in-children-behavioural-changes-and-symptoms\/\">hypoglycemia<\/a> when the sugar level goes below 70 milligrams per deciliter (mg\/dL).<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If not treated properly, hypoglycemia can cause seizures and can be life-threatening. However, if a diabetic is able to identify the signs before the condition worsens, it can be treated as a short-term condition.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hypoglycemia can happen anytime to anyone; however, it usually is triggered due to the usage of insulin or other diabetes <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">medications<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are a few cases where blood sugar levels can go below the normal range:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When a person injects more insulin than needed<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Excess consumption of alcohol<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Misses or delays the meal<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Strenuous amount of physical activity<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"335\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/shutterstock_1819423460.jpg\" alt=\"hyperglycemia\" class=\"wp-image-7939\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/shutterstock_1819423460.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/shutterstock_1819423460-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/shutterstock_1819423460-420x235.jpg 420w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"_Hyperglycemia\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;<\/span><b>Hyperglycemia<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just like how excess insulin can cause hypoglycemia, too little insulin causes hyperglycemia.
