Dengue fever, caused by the dengue virus and transmitted by mosquitoes, poses a significant global health threat, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions. Severe cases can manifest as dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) or dengue shock syndrome, leading to complications such as plasma leakage, fluid accumulation, respiratory distress, severe bleeding, and organ impairment. Among these complications, gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding is particularly concerning due to its potential to rapidly deteriorate the patient's condition.

The human body has abundant mechanisms to counteract hypoglycemia and prevent neuroglycopenia primarily involving the secretion of glucagon and adrenalin. Within several years from the onset of diabetes, people with type 1 diabetes lose their ability to mount a counterregulatory response to hypoglycemia and develop hypoglycemia unawareness, thus being at risk for deteriorating to a state of severe hypoglycemia and neuroglycopenia. Pregnant individuals with type 1 diabetes are particularly prone to experience severe hypoglycemia during the first half of pregnancy.
