[Hypoglycemia and states of confusion]

In states of hypoglycemia apart from vegetative clinical appearances, rough psychic disorders can also occur in the sense of the disruption of the levels of consciousness, as well as in the form of confusion or the clouding of narrowed consciousness. In regard to the fact that these psychoorganic disorders often occur without the classical appearance of vegetative disorders which are typical for hypoglycemia, psychoorganic disorders therefore, present a great challenge and risk in differential diagnostics. The paper presents two types of confusion states which can occur in the course of hypoglycemia. They are the stiff, stuporous confusion state, as well as the anxious, agitated confusion state.
