Hypoglycemia in Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes: Physiology, Pathophysiology, and Management
Vanessa J. Briscoe, PhD and
Stephen N. Davis, MD
IN BRIEF
The threat and incidence of hypoglycemia is the major limiting factor in
intensive glycemic control for both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. This article
reviews the physiology of the normal counterregulatory responses to
hypoglycemia and the deficient counterregulatory defenses that occur in
patients with diabetes. Treatment paradigms for establishing good glycemic
control while limiting hypoglycemia are also discussed.
