What is the lowest blood sugar that you or your child have had? Poll dates: September 12 - 19, 1999 Total Votes: 848 Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) is an emergency that must be treated immediately. Without treatment, a low blood sugar may progress to unconsciousness and convulsions. Almost half (46%) of respondents reported experiencing a severe low blood sugar below 27 mg/dl (1.5 mmol/l). Young children with diabetes are particularly at risk for long-term consequences of repeated, severe hypoglycemia and, as a result, should have a target blood sugar range that helps minimize the risk of hypoglycemia. Parents are encouraged to read about Conventional Versus Intensive Diabetes Therapy in Children with Type 1 Diabetes. See Hypoglycemia for more information. [Return to the current poll]
