In serious cases, it may cause children's mental retardation, slow brain development and normal people.

Second, it may affect the children's normal life: the continuous decrease of blood glucose concentration for more than 6 hours can cause cerebral congestion, multiple punctate hemorrhage and brain tissue damage. If the correct diagnosis and treatment can not be made in time, brain edema, ischemic punctate necrosis, encephalomalacia, stupor, coma, shock and even death can occur.
