Seroquel Lawsuit Research- Dangerous Side Effect: Hypoglycemia

Recently, Seroquel has been linked to the dangerous side effect Hypoglycemia.

Hypoglycemia is a medical term referring to a lower than normal amount of sugar (glucose) in the blood. The term hypoglycemia literally means "low blood sugar".

DID YOU KNOW?
The quickest way to get your blood sugar higher and help soothe the worst effects of hypoglycemia is to take in some form of sugar, such as 3 glucose tablets, 1/2 cup of fruit juice, or 5-6 pieces of hard candy.

Hypoglycemia is present in a number of different symptoms. It can have different effects on human beings, but the main problems arise from an inadequate supply of glucose as fuel to the brain. This leads to an impairment of function

Hypoglycemia can be caused by many things, and it effects people of all ages.

Endocrinologists (specialists in disorders of blood glucose metabolism) typically consider the following criteria (referred to as Whipple's triad) as proving that an individual's symptoms can be attributed to hypoglycemia:

1.  Symptoms known to be caused by hypoglycemia
2.  Low glucose at the time the symptoms occur
3.  Reversal or improvement of symptoms or problems when the glucose is restored to normal

However, these days, diagnostic criteria, and even the level of glucose low enough to define hypoglycemia has been a source of controversy in several contexts.

For many purposes, plasma glucose levels below 70 mg/dl or 3.9 mmol/L are considered hypoglycemic, but these issues are elaborated in more detail below.
