Overview
Risk factors for hypoglycemia-associated autonomic failure
There are three defences against hypoglycemia; decrease of insulin. increase of glucagon and increase of epinephrine. Failure of any of these defenses increase chances of hypoglycemia. This occurs rapidly in type 1 diabetes and more gradually in type 2 diabetes.[1]
- Absolute endogenous insulin deficiency.
- A history of severe hypoglycemia, hypoglycemia unawareness, or both.
- Aggressive glycemic therapy (lower HbA1C levels, lower glycemic goals)
Risk Factors
Risk factors of hypoglycemia include:[2]
- Insulin or insulin secretagogue doses are excessive, ill-timed, or of the wrong type.
- Exogenous glucose delivery is decreased (e.g. after missed meals and during the overnight fast).
- Glucose utilization is increased (e.g. during exercise).
- Endogenous glucose production is decreased (e.g. after alcohol ingestion).
- Sensitivity to insulin is increased (e.g. after weight loss, an increase in regular exercise or improved glycemic control, and in
- the middle of the night).
- Insulin clearance is decreased (e.g. with renal failure).
