SULFONYLUREAS • Risk of hypoglycemia • Fasting • Elderly: variable data • Chronic renal failure
SULFONYLUREA INDUCED HYPOGLYEMIA • Administration of glucose for acute correction • Decontamination • Nutrition, IV access • Admission
SULFONYLUREAS • Monitor potassium, phosphate • Urinary alkalinization for chlorpropamide • Octreotide for refractory hypoglycemia • Observation for at least 12 hours after last dose octreotide
Octreotide Dosing • Adults: 50 g subcutaneously every 6 hours • Children: 4-5 g/kg/day subcutaneously divided every 6 hours, with maximum not exceeding the adult dose

PANCREAS: BETA ISLET CELL Insulin G Ca2+ OCTREOTIDE
SUFONYLUREAS: Other Effects • Inhibition of aldehyde dehydrogenase • SIADH
INSULIN • Oral exposure is benign • Parenteral Exposures • Unpredictable in overdose • May be dependent upon quantity injection • Formulation • Treatment: nutrition, supplemental glucose infusion
HYPOGLYCEMICS: MANAGEMENT • Identify and treat hypoglycemia • Admission especially if brought to coma or seizure • Nutrition • Consider enteral infusion of feeds via NG Tube • Monitor electrolytes
GLUCOSE ADMINISTRATION • Adults • D50W 1 gram/kg • Children • D25W 0.5-1 gram/kg • D10 W 0.5-1 gram/kg in neonates • Infusion of D10 W at a total of 1 gram/kg/hr • Monitor potassium
METFORMIN • Rarely causes true hypoglycemia • Adverse reaction • Lactic acidosis only in patients with renal insufficiency or shock states. • Treatment of lactic acidosis: hemodialysis • Caveat: Co-ingested substances
