What are the indications of hypoglycemia?

Agitation
Altered LOA
Seizure
Respiratory distress

The correct answer is: Seizure

Hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar, can present with a variety of symptoms including agitation, altered level of alertness (LOA), seizures, and respiratory distress. However, the most specific indication of hypoglycemia is seizure. While agitation, altered LOA, and respiratory distress can also occur in someone with hypoglycemia, they are not unique to this condition and can be caused by other factors as well. Therefore, it is important to recognize that while these symptoms may coexist with hypoglycemia, they do not accurately indicate its presence. The most reliable and significant indication of hypoglycemia is the occurrence of a seizure.
