Classification of Hypoglycemic Episodes Based on whether individuals can treat themselves.
Symptomatic definitions:
Mild hypoglycemia: Adrenergic Symptoms (BG<70mg/dl)
(The patient is able to self-treat))
Moderate hypoglycemia: Cognitive impairment (BG<50mg/dl)
“Severe Hypoglycemia”: Unconscious (BG
???)
Unconsciousness and seizures.
The main cause of hypoglycaemia in people with type 2 diabetes is their diabetes medication
Hypoglycaemia occurs when there is an absolute or relative excess of therapeutic insulin in the presence of impaired counter-regulatory mechanisms
This commonly occurs with the use of insulin secretagogues or insulin, which raise insulin levels independently of blood glucose
Causes of hypoglycaemia

Hypoglycaemia was a major predictor of cardiovascular death in the VADT study
Duckworth W. Presented at the ADA 68th Scientific Sessions, 2008. Available at: http://professional.diabetes.org/presentations_details.aspx?session=3167. Accessed: 12 Nov, 2010.
Previous hypoglycaemia may impair cardiovascular autonomic function
Cardiovascular autonomic testing in 20 healthy subjects showed reduced baroreflex sensitivity and reduced mucsle response to vasodilation in those who had experienced a previous hypoglycaemic episode
Potential impact of hypoglycaemia
Likely consequences of hypoglycaemia include:
Physical and psychological morbidity and, in severe cases, fatality
Compromised physiological and behavioural defences against subsequent falling plasma glucose concentrations, causing a vicious cycle of recurrent episodes
Hypoglycaemia may preclude the maintenance of euglycaemia over a lifetime of diabetes and therefore
limits the vascular benefits from glycaemic control
Cryer PE. Diabetes. 2008;57:3169-76
Current guidelines generally recommend:1-4
HbA1c level ≤7.0% (53 mmol/mol) to lower the risk of micro and macrovascular complications
OR
HbA1c level ≤6.5% (48 mmol/mol) to achieve near normoglycaemic control
- Episodes of hypoglycaemia should be carefully titrated against this
- Individuals with hypoglycaemia unawareness or severe hypoglycaemia should
raise their glycaemic targets to avoid further episodes of hypoglycaemia
Selecting the most appropriate therapy and individualising treatment are key to reducing the prevalence of hypoglycaemia
Education and motivation are important to avoid hypoglycaemia

Symptoms of hypoglycaemia are not specific in nature:
Weakness
Unsteadiness
Sleepiness
Feeling faint
Feeling light-headed
Poor concentration
Neurological symptoms of hypoglycaemia may be misinterpreted as...
Transient cerebral ischaemia
Vertebrobasilar insufficiency
Vasovagal attacks
Cardiac dysrhythmia
Hypoglycaemia may be underestimated in elderly people with type 2 diabetes
McAulay V, et al. Diabet Med. 2001;18:690-705.
Summary 1 Hypoglycaemia is a potentially serious complication in type 2 diabetes, especially in the elderly Hypoglycaemic episodes may be associated with
cardiovascular death, MI, cardiac arrhythmias, nervous system abnormalities and cardiac ischaemia
Individualised treatment is key in order to avoid hypoglycaemia and glucose-lowering medication must be adapted to each person’s needs and lifestyle.
Several glucose-lowering agents (e.g. insulin secretagogues and insulin therapy) may increase the risk of hypoglycaemia
Fear of hypoglycaemia and the risks associated with treatment may cause individuals to stop taking their medication – a major barrier to achieving glycaemic control

Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) associated with type 2 diabetes and obesity
Excess weight is an important risk factor for OSA1
41–58% of OSA is estimated to be attributable to excess weight
Increasing evidence suggests that OSA has adverse effects on glucose metabolism and risk of diabetes, independent of degree of obesity2
OSA is also a significant risk factor for CV disease and mortality2
Physicians should be aware of the extremely high prevalence (>86%) of undiagnosed OSA
in obese individuals with type 2 diabetes3

In the DCCT, insulin-treated patients with severe hypoglycaemia had a significantly (P<0.05) greater increase in weight than those without severe hypoglycaemia during the study
A potential explanation for this is “defensive snacking” – an increase in a patient’s carbohydrate intake following hypoglycaemia due to their fear of further events

Most people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) are overweight or obese
T2D as a result of obesity is responsible for a significant proportion of obesity-related disability and life-years lost
Abdominal obesity is most strongly associated with a constellation of risk factors linked with diabetes and cardiovascular disease
Other comorbidities such as obstructive sleep apnoea and depression may be associated with obesity in type 2 diabetes
Glucose-lowering medications provide options to choose weight-neutral or weight-loss drugs
Bariatric surgery should be considered for severely obese patients with T2DM
