Hypoglycemic unawareness emergency care -
However, as of yet, none of these platforms have been approved by the Federal Drug Administration Palmer et al. In this trial, subjects were randomized into a CLS or a sensor augmented pump SAP. Hypoglycemia fear Cox et al. CLS subjects had improved hypoglycemia fear scores at 6 months and a tendency for improved confidence in managing hypoglycemia; however, awareness was not different between the technologies Kudva et al.
With low or predicted low glucose values detected by CGM, sensor augmented pumps SAP allow for automated insulin suspension. By temporarily suspending insulin delivery, SAP can avoid or limit the severity of hypoglycemia Steineck et al.
SAPs have been shown to be useful in people with severe hypoglycemia Ly et al. The study reported a decrease in Hb1Ac, TAR, and Clarke scores; however, there was no change in TBR Takagi et al. Thus, authors concluded that the SAP improved glycemic control by decreasing hyperglycemia and may improve awareness; but counterintuitively, not by reducing TBR Takagi et al.
Given both 1 the limited evidence of improvement in awareness with SAPs, and 2 the rapid commercialization of automated insulin delivery systems, IAH research has evolved to be conducted with the next level of technology, automated insulin delivery systems. AID systems have been shown to be effective in both T1D adults and adolescents in improving HbA1c, increasing TIR, and decreasing hypoglycemia Kovatchev et al.
Malone et al. No statistical improvement for awareness was found; but there was a trend in improvement from baseline Malone et al. Burckhardt et a l. While counterregulatory responses did not change epinephrine, norepinephrine, cortisol, growth hormone with the use of AID, the total symptom scores assessed both adrenergic and neuroglycopenic during a hypoglycemic clamp improved from baseline compared to subjects using a SAP alone Burckhardt et al.
In contrast to the Burckhardt study, Flatt et al. A score of 3 on the Clarke score is borderline for IAH; therefore, some aware subjects could have been included in the statistical analysis in the described study Nattero-Chávez et al. Additionally, diabetes education provided to the AID subjects could have, independently, played a role in improving awareness scores Nattero-Chávez et al.
The benefits of automated insulin delivery cannot be minimized; the aforementioned studies showed improvements in glycemic management and awareness. It is worthwhile to note that while some intervention studies do demonstrate an improvement in hypoglycemia questionnaire scores, it is unclear if a statistical improvement is clinically relevant as study subjects often demonstrate a persistent impaired awareness of hypoglycemia Burckhardt et al.
It should be noted that the study design is another factor contributing to these seemingly discordant results viz-a-viz the ability of technology to restore awareness of hypoglycemia.
The putative factors that contribute to the short-term blunting of the sympathoadrenal response to hypoglycemia induced by a few bouts of antecedent hypoglycemia in non-diabetic subjects are almost certainly different from the factors that contribute to HAAF having developed over years in people with T1D.
Disparate patient inclusion criteria are also confounding factors when comparing results from different studies.
These and other factors may explain the apparent efficacy of early studies showing benefits with short term one to three months interventions in small cohorts 6—12 subjects with T1D.
In contrast, recent interventions using the latest diabetes technologies failed to demonstrate an improvement in hypoglycemia awareness in larger cohorts Pratley et al. An alternative notion to the exclusively glucocentric etiology of HAAF, is the possibility that HAAF is a heterogeneous clinical entity that develops, in part due to recurrent hypoglycemia, but also develops due to other factors e.
If these heterogeneous factors are indeed major factors that contribute to HAAF, then perhaps the failure to restore awareness of hypoglycemia with novel diabetes therapeutics vide supra is not necessarily due to a failure to scrupulously avoid recurrent hypoglycemia.
Consequently, it is possible that multiple interventions addressing these many potential confounding variables may be necessary to completely restore normal awareness and counterregulation in all subjects. For people with intractable episodes of severe hypoglycemia, whole pancreas or islet cell transplantation remains an important treatment option recommended by the American Diabetes Association Robertson et al.
Previous studies have shown both whole pancreas and islet cell transplantation are effective almost immediately at restoring endogenous insulin and glucagon secretion Kendall et al. The authors concluded that either treatment would be most appropriate for patients with IAH Rickels et al.
Virtual elimination of hypoglycemia with intrahepatic islet transplantation in subjects with T1D leads to improvement in hypoglycemia symptom recognition Rickels et al. Following transplant, epinephrine response to hypoglycemia was improved at 6- months and normalized at months and the symptoms of hypoglycemia were normalized at both time-points after transplant Rickels et al.
Supporting the glucocentric cause of HAAF, findings in transplant patients indicate that the prolonged, near complete elimination of hypoglycemia, can completely reverse HAAF. The effects of various drugs on hypoglycemia awareness and counterregulatory responses have been assessed in preclinical models of HAAF, clinical models of inducible HAAF, and subjects with long-standing T1D and HAAF Summarized in Table 2.
With the goal of augmenting the response to hypoglycemia, pharmacological interventions have targeted sites of action that are responsible for blood glucose sensing. When blood glucose falls, neurons in the brain Thorens, and the periphery Fournel et al.
One peripheral glucose sensor that responds to hypoglycemia lies within the portal-mesenteric vein PMV Matveyenko et al. Recent studies suggest that PMV glucose sensing may be mediated via sodium-dependent glucose transporter 3 SGLT3 receptors.
Following antecedent hypoglycemia, miglitol Glyset © , Pfizer, New York, NY, United States a SGLT3 agonist, was shown to restore the counterregulatory response to hypoglycemia in rats Jokiaho et al. The predominant glucose-sensing apparatus lies within the brain. Early studies identified the ventromedial hypothalamus VMH as a key glucose-sensing region Borg et al.
In terms of testing responses to drug therapy, one study examined the effects of systemic and central VMH administration of a beta 2-adrenergic receptor agonist, formoterol, on the counterregulatory responses following hypoglycemia Szepietowska et al.
Systemic administration improved the glucose infusion rate and hepatic glucose production response to hypoglycemia; however, counterregulatory hormones did not change with formoterol administration Szepietowska et al.
While formoterol and miglitol improved counterregulation and hepatic glucose production of HAAF, awareness was not assessed in those studies and the effects of those drugs on IAH remain unknown.
In rodent models of HAAF, recurrent hypoglycemia consistently blunts the sympathoadrenal response noted by a blunted plasma catecholamine response Powell et al. Unfortunately, the ability to determine hypoglycemia unawareness induced by recurrent hypoglycemia has been understandably more difficult to quantify in animal models Sankar et al.
Of note, Farhat et al. As model of IAH, recurrent antecedent treatment with 2-deoxyglucose 2DG blunted the food intake response to insulin-induced hypoglycemia; yet rodents treated with carvedilol did not develop IAH i.
Another area of the brain that has been implicated in glucose sensing is the perifornical hypothalamus PFH. Researchers focused on the orexin-glucose-inhibited neurons in the PFH responsible for arousal as a target for IAH and explored treatment with the anti-narcolepsy drug, modafinil Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd.
Mice underwent a conditioned place preference test surrogate test for IAH prior to recurrent hypoglycemia and treatment. Compared to saline-treated mice, modafinil-treated mice adjusted their preference for the food-associated chamber after insulin-induced hypoglycemia.
Additionally, researchers showed that modafinil restored glucose sensing by the orexin-glucose-inhibited neurons in the PFH Patel et al. Modafinil is a dopamine reuptake inhibitor thus, it appears that dopamine signaling is potentially involved in the development of IAH. Consistent with this notion, metoclopramide Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd.
Based on these preclinical results, the potential of this drug to restore awareness of hypoglycemia in subjects with T1D and IAH has advanced to a Phase 2 clinical trial NCT Translation of these pre-clinical results to clinical trials remains an important step to validate potential drug therapies for the treatment of IAH.
Drugs that work within the adrenergic system seem like an obvious target that might improve both the counterregulatory response and awareness of hypoglycemia Cooperberg et al. Consistent with preclinical studies Li et al. Thus, some degree of adrenergic blockage within the CNS may serve to improve hypoglycemia awareness and hypoglycemic counterregulation, at least based on preclinical studies Farhat et al.
Another, similar pharmacological approach to treating IAH is targeting adenosine receptors to increase alertness and enhanced secretion of the counterregulatory hormones De Galan et al.
One study used theophylline, an adenosine-receptor antagonist, to determine its effects on IAH de Galan et al. In response to hypoglycemia, subjects with diabetes and IAH treated with theophylline demonstrated an improved counterregulatory hormone response but theophylline did not improve hypoglycemia symptom scores de Galan et al.
However, another methylxanthine, caffeine, was shown to stimulate more symptomatic hypoglycemic episodes i. The glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, exenatide, was used in a crossover trial in subjects with T1D and IAH van Meijel et al.
Subjects treated with exenatide for 4-week had no differences in frequency or time spent in hypoglycemia compared to the placebo group. Exenatide-treated subjects had similar symptom scores and counterregulatory hormone responses to that of the placebo group van Meijel et al.
A sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor, dapagliflozin, has shown effectiveness van Meijel et al. Dapagliflozin treatment did not improve awareness of hypoglycemia, however, it did reduce the glucose infusion rates during the clamp indicating an improvement in glucoregulatory response to hypoglycemia van Meijel et al.
Using the same drug, another study assessed glucagon response in T1D subjects; however, subjects were on the lower end of the Clarke score median 3, range 1—5 , suggesting that awareness might have been present in some subjects.
Similar to previous results, dapagliflozin treatment did not improve counterregulatory hormone responses, symptom scores, or recovery from hypoglycemia Boeder et al. Treatment with the CNS stimulant, modafinil, resulted in improved autonomic symptom scores, higher heart rates, higher glucagon concentrations during hypoglycemia, and improved scores on cognitive tests; however, the epinephrine response was not altered Klement et al.
Since modafinil was administered in non-diabetic subjects, IAH was not present Klement et al. Conversely, another study also conducted in healthy subjects showed improvements in the norepinephrine response, but no other improvements in hormonal responses epinephrine, growth hormone, and cortisol or symptom scores during a hypoglycemic clamp Smith et al.
Both of these studies attribute the positive improvements seen in healthy subjects to γ-aminobutyric acid GABA signaling. Modulating GABA signaling as a means to restore counterregulation and hypoglycemia awareness is supported by pre-clinical models Chan et al.
Clinically, antecedent GABA-A activation with the benzodiazepine, alprazolam, has been shown to blunt the neuroendocrine and autonomic nervous system responses to subsequent hypoglycemia in healthy humans Hedrington et al.
Consistent with these findings, antagonism of GABA with dehydroepiandrosterone DHEA can prevent the development of HAAF under experimental conditions in healthy humans Mikeladze et al. Thus, with successful proof of concept studies in healthy humans, more recent studies in people with long-standing diabetes have shown that GABA administration significantly augmented the hormonal counterregulatory response to hypoglycemia Espes et al.
Pre-treatment with opioid receptor agonists can impair the counterregulatory response to hypoglycemia Carey et al. Conversely, pre-treatment with the opioid receptor antagonist naltrexone can prevent the development of an impaired counterregulatory response to hypoglycemia Leu et al.
Based on animal studies that indicate a possible role for selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors SSRIs to augment the counterregulatory response to glucoprivation Baudrie and Chaouloff, , clinical studies have demonstrated that 6-week treatment with SSRIs augmented counterregulatory, but not symptom responses, to hypoglycemia in nondiabetic people Briscoe et al.
It remains to be determined if these beneficial effects of SSRIs are mediated by the inhibition of neuronal serotonin uptake or via inhibition of norepinephrine transport in the CNS Chaouloff et al.
It also remains to be determined why hypoglycemia awareness was not improved with SSRI therapy. IAH continues to be a complication in people with both T1D and T2D who seek optimal glycemic control with insulin therapy.
Providers who care for patients with diabetes should inquire about hypoglycemia and IAH with a view towards considering treatment options. This review shows that there are several advances in technology and educational approaches that can improve hypoglycemia awareness.
With regards to pharmacological treatments, basic science research in animal models is continuing to elucidate the mechanism s responsible and these novel treatments for IAH are being advanced into clinical trials.
Future studies should focus on these possible mechanisms to develop more targeted therapies for patients who suffer from IAH. EM: Writing—original draft. MD: Writing—original draft. YL: Writing—review and editing. MM: Writing—review and editing. MW: Writing—review and editing.

Severe symptoms of low blood sugar include confusion, slurred speech, unsteadiness when standing or walking, muscle twitching, and personality changes. People with diabetes who tightly control their blood sugar levels are more likely to have episodes of low blood sugar. Frequent and severe low blood sugar episodes are likely to evolve into hypoglycemia unawareness. The longer a person has had diabetes, the more likely it is that they will develop hypoglycemic unawareness. After a person has had one hypoglycemia unawareness episode, more are likely to occur.Severe hypoglycemia is a medical emergency, and it is important for patients with diabetes unawsreness their close contacts—including pharmacists and wmergency healthcare providers—to recognize symptoms of hypoglycemia and proceed with proper treatment.

Drugs may interfere with these mechanisms. For example, beta-blockers e. This can increase the severity of hypoglycemia by blocking the compensatory effects of endogenous epinephrine in increasing BG levels and resulting in a delay in exogenous treatment. Hypoglycemia is part of the differential diagnosis for any patient found in a semiconscious or unconscious state.
Most hospitals have well-developed protocols to treat hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia in hospitalized patients has been associated with increased mortality, which could be due to the more severe nature of illness in patients who tend to become hypoglycemic or could be related to the hypoglycemia itself.
Most patients were receiving basal insulin and most cases were nocturnal hypoglycemic events. Standardized hospital-wide, nurse-initiated hypoglycemia treatment protocols are preferred. Primary prevention consisting of identifying and mitigating risk factors and triggers for hypoglycemia is also recommended.
As discussed earlier, hypoglycemia encountered in the hospital is often iatrogenic, with a large number of cases related to drug therapy. It is important to assess the BG level of any patient with hypoglycemic signs and symptoms.
However, unavailability of testing equipment should not delay treatment if hypoglycemia is suspected. In the conscious patient, the most practical treatment is the oral administration of a rapid-acting carbohydrate TABLE 4. If needed, additional g doses of carbohydrate may be administered to resolve symptoms and increase blood sugar above an established threshold e.
Hypoglycemic type 2 diabetes patients taking alpha-glucosidase inhibitors who are treated with oral carbohydrates must receive monosaccharides e. Glucagon, a counterregulatory pancreatic hormone, causes the breakdown and release of glycogen from the liver to increase BG concentrations.
A glucagon kit for emergency treatment of hypoglycemia is recommended for any patient with a history of severe hypoglycemia or who is at risk for it. The kit is particularly useful for patients in the community or in long-term care facilities where IV administration of dextrose is not feasible.
Close contacts of the patient e. Other formulations of glucagon premixed injectable solutions and nasal sprays are being developed to improve ease of administration in the community setting.
Reversal of hypoglycemia relies on sufficient hepatic glycogen stores and other factors. Patients normally respond within 15 minutes; IV glucose must be administered as soon as possible to any patient failing to respond to glucagon.
IV dextrose is the best treatment for inpatients and for patients found by emergency medical services personnel. IV dextrose is available in different concentrations.
It is recommended to administer 10 to 25 g mL over 1 to 3 minutes. Rapid or excessive administration can induce hyperosmolar syndrome, and prolonged use especially when insulin levels are high can lead to hypokalemia. Patients who are given dextrose and sodium chloride solutions are at risk for hypokalemia, fluid overload, and edema.
Once recovered, regardless of the method used to increase serum glucose oral, IV, or liver glycogenolysis due to glucagonthe patient should continue to receive supplementation to prevent recurrence and reestablish glycogen stores as necessary.
If NPO, parenteral supplementation should continue to prevent hypoglycemia. If conscious and oral intake is possible, the patient should consume foods with longer-acting sources of energy complex carbohydrates, fats, proteins in order to prevent recurrence.
Pharmacists are well positioned to directly prevent, recognize, and treat hypoglycemia, and they can successfully develop institutional protocols and procedures and educate patients, caregivers, and other healthcare practitioners to achieve these goals.
Treatment of hypoglycemia depends on the severity and setting, and ranges from self-treatment with oral administration of 15 g of simple carbohydrates to outpatient use of glucagon kits and from oral intake to parenteral dextrose or glucagon administration at an institution.
Pharmacist involvement in the care of patients at risk for hypoglycemia and in education on prevention, recognition, and treatment of hypoglycemia for patients and their close family members and associates is critically important in helping reduce complications and improve outcomes.

When this happens, the risk of severe, life-threatening hypoglycemia increases. If you have diabetes, recurring episodes of hypoglycemia and hypoglycemia unawareness, your health care provider might modify your treatment, raise your blood sugar level goals and recommend blood glucose awareness training. A continuous glucose monitor CGM is an option for some people with hypoglycemia unawareness. The device can alert you when your blood sugar is too low. If you have diabetes, episodes of low blood sugar are uncomfortable and can be frightening. Fear of hypoglycemia can cause you to take less insulin to ensure that your blood sugar level doesn't go too low. This can lead to uncontrolled diabetes. Talk to your health care provider about your fear, and don't change your diabetes medication dose without discussing changes with your health care provider. A continuous glucose monitor, on the left, is a device that measures your blood sugar every few minutes using a sensor inserted under the skin. An insulin pump, attached to the pocket, is a device that's worn outside of the body with a tube that connects the reservoir of insulin to a catheter inserted under the skin of the abdomen. Insulin pumps are programmed to deliver specific amounts of insulin automatically and when you eat. Follow the diabetes management plan you and your health care provider have developed. If you're taking new medications, changing your eating or medication schedules, or adding new exercise, talk to your health care provider about how these changes might affect your diabetes management and your risk of low blood sugar. Learn the signs and symptoms you experience with low blood sugar. This can help you identify and treat hypoglycemia before it gets too low. Frequently checking your blood sugar level lets you know when your blood sugar is getting low. A continuous glucose monitor CGM is a good option for some people. A CGM has a tiny wire that's inserted under the skin that can send blood glucose readings to a receiver. If blood sugar levels are dropping too low, some CGM models will alert you with an alarm. Some insulin pumps are now integrated with CGMs and can shut off insulin delivery when blood sugar levels are dropping too quickly to help prevent hypoglycemia. Be sure to always have a fast-acting carbohydrate with you, such as juice, hard candy or glucose tablets so that you can treat a falling blood sugar level before it dips dangerously low. For recurring episodes of hypoglycemia, eating frequent small meals throughout the day is a stopgap measure to help prevent blood sugar levels from getting too low. However, this approach isn't advised as a long-term strategy. Work with your health care provider to identify and treat the cause of hypoglycemia. Mayo Clinic does not endorse companies or products.
