Hypoglycemia from Sulfonylureas[1][2]

Activated charcoal[3]

  • Administer activated charcoal, preferably within 1 hr of ingestion
  • Multiple doses may be beneficial, especially for glipizide

Glucose Treatment

  • Initial Therapy regardless of known cause
Adults
  • 50mL D50W bolus
  • Start a D10 1/2NS drip (100mL/hr)
Children
  • 1mL/kg of D50W OR
  • 2mL/kg D25W OR 5-10mL/kg D10W
  • Neonate: 5-10 mL/kg D10W

Octreotide[4]

  • Theoretical benefit to reduce risk of recurrent hypoglycemia
  • Hyperpolarization of the beta cell results in inhibition of Ca influx and prevents insulin release
  • May be effective in:
  • 50-100 mcg subcutaneous in adults with repeat dosing Q6hrs
  • 2 mcg/kg (max 150mcg) subcutaneously should be used in children
  • Continuous infusion of 50-125 mcg/hr is an alternative in adults

Special Considerations

  • Caution in using glucagon drip
    • Glucagon also has an insulin-releasing effect
    • May subsequently cause initial paradoxical hypoglycemia
