Iatrogenic hypoglycemia is the limiting factor in the glycemic management of diabetes. It can be caused by sulfonylureas or other insulin secretagogues, and perhaps by metformin, as well as by insulin. Hypoglycemia is less frequent overall in type 2 diabetes (T2DM), compared with type 1 ...
The cohort included 386 patients (49%) without type 2 diabetes, 316 (41%) with type 2 diabetes but no hypoglycemia at admission, and 79 patients (10%) with type 2 diabetes and hypoglycemia identified at the time of hospitalization. The authors used Cox proportional hazard regression models to...
responsible for more than 1 million deaths each year. Cases of type 2 diabetes are increasing faster in developed countries such as the U.S. and Western Europe.
Hypoglycemia: a therapeutic concern in type 2 diabetes.The author discusses concerns related to hypoglycaemia, a condition due to low blood pressure. He states that hypoglycaemia is a concern for therapy of type 2 diabetes as it can be associated with excess costs, loss of productivity and ...
First, the cells will immediately be starved for energy. This makes it difficult for the body to create enough energy to make it through the day. Over time, you may start to noticesigns of type 2 diabetes- also called adult-onset diabetes (many people develop a condition known asinsulin ...
Type 2 diabetes is a chronic disease affecting the ability to process blood sugar. Reviewed by a board-certified endocrinologist.
The most worrisome side effect of insulin is low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). The usual symptoms are sudden weakness, sweating, feeling unwell and not thinking clearly. However, people with low standing diabetes may lose the ability to feel these symptoms even with a dangerously low blood sugar ...
BACKGROUND: Hypoglycemia is often the limiting factor for intensive glucose control in diabetes management, however its actual prevalence in type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is not well documented. METHODOLOGY: A total of 108 patients with T2DM wore a continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS) for 5 days...
This can happen if you take yourdiabetes medicationsand then skip a meal. Blood sugar also can rise very quickly after a highglycemic indexmeal, and then fall a few hours later, plummeting intohypoglycemia(low blood sugar). The signs and symptoms of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) can include...
