HSE National Clinical Guideline for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Hypoglycaemia in Adults with Diabetes Mellitus in Acute and Non-Acute Settings

Hypoglycaemia is a serious and potentially life-threatening complication of diabetes. Timely recognition and treatment are critical to prevent severe outcomes, including neurological damage, seizures, coma, and in rare instances, death. These guidelines provide a standardised, evidence-based framework to ensure safe, consistent diagnosis and management of hypoglycaemia across clinical settings and are intended to enable healthcare professionals to respond effectively to hypoglycaemic events, optimise blood glucose management, and enhance patient safety.
