Abstract In this study, 17 patients with severe hypoglycemia were assessed for nutrition‐related risk using the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI). The results showed that 13 of the 17 patients had nutrition‐related risk. Hypoglycemia should be noted in patients with problems on GNRI, with or without diabetes.
