UNAIR NEWS<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 Indonesian Minister of Health Budi Gunadi Sadikin recently suffered from hypoglycemia after completing a seven-kilometer run. He experienced dizziness, loss of balance, and ultimately fell, sustaining an injury to his eyelid. This incident underscores the fact that hypoglycemia is not exclusive to individuals with diabetes but can affect anyone under certain circumstances.<\/p>\n\n

Dr. Hermina Novida, an internal medicine specialist in endocrinology, metabolism, and diabetes at 51动漫<\/a> (UNAIR), provided insight into the case. She explained that hypoglycemia occurs when blood sugar levels drop below normal, a condition that can affect not only diabetes patients but also individuals with various medical and non-medical risk factors.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cHypoglycemia is not limited to people with diabetes; it can also be triggered by excessive physical activity, inadequate caloric intake, or disruptions in insulin metabolism,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n\n

Causes of Hypoglycemia<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n

Dr. Novida highlighted several medical conditions that can contribute to hypoglycemia. Excessive physical exertion increases insulin sensitivity and depletes energy stores, making individuals more vulnerable. Additionally, prolonged fasting and diminished glycogen reserves, especially in individuals with low body weight or chronic liver disease, can increase susceptibility.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cOther contributing factors include certain tumors that interfere with insulin regulation, medication side effects, and acute or severe infections that hinder proper caloric intake. Furthermore, elevated insulin levels resulting from insulinoma or chronic kidney disease can also lead to hypoglycemia,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n\n

Non-medical factors, such as irregular eating habits and unbalanced nutrition, can also play a role. Dr. Novida noted that stress and lack of sleep can lead to skipped meals and reduced appetite, ultimately disrupting caloric intake.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cWhen caloric intake is compromised due to erratic eating patterns, the body lacks sufficient energy reserves, significantly increasing the risk of hypoglycemia,\u201d she cautioned.<\/p>\n\n

Prevention strategies<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n

To mitigate the risk of hypoglycemia, Dr. Novida emphasized the importance of maintaining a consistent and well-balanced diet. She also advised individuals, particularly those with diabetes or a history of hypoglycemia, to monitor their heart rate during physical activity and regularly check their blood sugar levels. \u201cRegular exercise is beneficial, but overexertion should be avoided. Ensure your body is in good condition before engaging in physical activity, and consider consuming a snack beforehand to prevent a sharp drop in blood sugar levels,\u201d she advised.<\/p>\n\n

\nDr. Novida also encouraged the public to recognize early symptoms of hypoglycemia and learn how to respond effectively. \u201cRaising awareness through social media about early warning signs, first-aid measures, and preventive strategies is crucial in helping individuals stay vigilant against hypoglycemia,\u201d she concluded.<\/p>\n\n
