Regarding neuroglycopenia
Hi there,

One additional thing about neuroglycopenia that I think is worth mentioning is that neuroglycopenia is a well-known phenomenon in aspirin toxicity. This can produce neurological symptoms (including confusion or altered mental status) with a normal blood glucose level (since the blood glucose is a different compartment and a different measurement than glucose level in the brain). The treatment is rapid administration of glucose into the bloodstream, to favor the active transport of glucose to the central nervous system.

Here is a citation - this phenomenon has been known since the 1970s. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/4319971/

Thank you! I can be contacted at paulhein@gmail.com with questions.
