Hypoglycaemia - A serious medical emergency: review article.
Proceeding Shaikh Zayed Postgrad Med Inst Jan ;15(1):47-55.

Most of the vital organs are dependent on intact vascular supply for their appropriate functions. This vascular supply not only provides oxygen for consumption but also glucose. Brain is the most sensitive organ and cannot tolerate hypoxia or hypoglycemia for more than a few seconds to a few minutes respectively. Severe hypoglycemia due to any cause is associated with a significant mortality and morbidity. As hypoglycemia can potentially cause severe irreversible brain damage, therefore this emergency must be treated and reversed as a matter of utmost urgency.
