Hypoglycaemia is a potentially serious complication of diabetes mellitus in which an individual's blood glucose drops to dangerously low levels. The aim of this article is to assist healthcare assistants and nurses to work collaboratively with patients and their families and carers in the prevention and management of hypoglycaemia. A good article for CPD, and could be used for nurses undergoing revalidation. It includes a multiple choice quiz at the end.
