Abstract
Approximately 38% of the patient population in community hospitals throughout the United States has diabetes mellitus. Hypoglycemia is defined as less than 70 mg/dL. Patients with hypoglycemia are at more risk for clinically adverse outcomes including death. Critical care nurses must recognize the signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia and initiate prompt intervention to reduce the risk of mortality.
