Article Synopsis
- A 10-year-old boy with type 1 diabetes experienced sudden right-sided hemiplegia after exercise, which did not improve with oral glucose but resolved quickly with intravenous dextrose.
- Hemiplegic hypoglycemia is a rare condition in diabetic children, typically affecting the right side of the body, and is characterized by rapid recovery without lasting neurological deficits.
- The exact mechanisms behind this condition remain unclear, but current research suggests it may relate to hypoglycemia's effects on motor neuron signaling, emphasizing the importance of preventing low blood sugar episodes in children with diabetes.
