For which condition is a glucose level below 70 indicative?

  1. Hypoglycemia

  2. Diabetic Ketoacidosis

  3. Hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state

  4. Euglycemia

The correct answer is: Hypoglycemia

A glucose level below 70 mg/dL is considered hypoglycemia, which is defined as abnormally low blood sugar levels. This can be a dangerous condition as it can lead to symptoms such as confusion, shakiness, and loss of consciousness. Option B, diabetic ketoacidosis, is associated with high levels of glucose and ketones in the blood. Option C, hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state, is also associated with high glucose levels, typically above 600 mg/dL. Option D, euglycemia, refers to normal blood sugar levels and is not indicative of any specific condition.
