Aunt Wang thought that the health care products she had spent a lot of money on would certainly have the same effect, so she stopped taking the antidiabetic drugs and only ate the health care products. At the beginning, Aunt Wang measured her blood sugar several times and found that it did drop a lot, so she continued to take health care products. But it wasn't long before Aunt Wang began to lose her energy and didn't like eating, even the snacks she used to love. Moreover, her mouth was always dry and she was getting weaker every day. One noon, Aunt Wang suddenly fainted at home. Fortunately, the wife was at home and immediately called "120" emergency number to send Aunt Wang to the hospital.

A blood glucose concentration below 3.9mmol/L is called hypoglycemia. The initial analysis of medical staff said that Aunt Wang's health food is likely to have added western medicine ingredients that can quickly reduce blood sugar, resulting in a sharp drop in the old man's blood sugar, and then coma.
