Hypoglycemia is an important complication of glucose-lowering therapy in patients with diabetes mellitus. According to the American diabetes association, hypoglycemia is defined as the abnormally low plasma glucose concentration that exposes the patient to potential harm with a proposed threshold plasma glucose value 70 mg/dL. The most common cause of hypoglycemia inRead MoreEssay Nursing Teaching Plan892 Words   |  4 Pagesabout their disease or disorder, diet, treatment, medication regimens, and self-care (Taylor, LeMone, Lillis, Lynn, 2008).
