Low blood concentrations of glucose (hypoglycaemia) soon after birth are common because of the delayed metabolic transition from maternal to endogenous neonatal sources of glucose.

Hypoglycaemia in Diabetes [PDF]
Hypoglycaemia and impaired awareness of hypoglycaemia are common, increase the risk of severe hypoglycaemia and have a major impact on patients’ perceived health and well-being. This thesis focuses on the prevalence of impaired awareness of hypoglycaemia

Endocrine and metabolic emergencies: hypoglycaemia
Hypoglycaemia is rare in healthy individuals owing to the numerous elegant hormonal and neuronal mechanisms that maintain glucose homeostasis. Glucose is an obligate metabolic fuel for cerebral tissue and therefore hypoglycaemia, if uncorrected, can have

Fear of hypoglycaemia in parents of young children with type 1 diabetes: a systematic review [PDF]
Background Many children with type 1 diabetes have poor glycaemic control. Since the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) showed that tighter control reduces complication rates, there has been more emphasis on intensified insulin therapy.

Intensive glycaemic control reduces the diabetic microvascular disease burden but iatrogenic hypoglycaemia is a major barrier preventing tight glycaemic control because of the limitations of subcutaneous insulin preparations and insulin secretagogues. Severe hypoglycaemia is uncommon early in the disease as robust physiological defences, particularly ...

The consequences of hypoglycaemia [PDF]
AbstractHypoglycaemia (blood glucose concentration below the normal range) has been recognised as a complication of insulin treatment from the very first days of the discovery of insulin, and remains a major concern for people with diabetes, their families and healthcare professionals today.

Blood glucose is maintained within a narrow range by the balance between intestinal absorption, glucose synthesis and glucose release from glycogen stores. Many diseases can affect this balance and result in hypoglycaemia; this can result in dramatic clinical signs due to neuroglycopenia.

Hyperinsulinaemic Hypoglycaemia [PDF]
Insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells is tightly regulated to maintain fasting blood glucose level between 3.5-5.5 mmol/l. In hyperinsulinaemic hypoglycaemia (HH) insulin secretion becomes unregulated so that insulin secretion persists despite low blood glucose levels.

Counter-regulatory responses to postprandial hypoglycaemia in patients with post-bariatric hypoglycaemia vs surgical and non-surgical control individuals [PDF]
Aims/hypothesis: Post-bariatric hypoglycaemia is an increasingly recognised complication of bariatric surgery, manifesting particularly after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.

HbA1c, weight, quality of life and hypoglycaemia awareness after a structured education programme teaching carbohydrate counting and insulin dose adjustment [PDF]
Objective - The primary aim was to assess the effects of Aintree Hospital’s ‘4-Step’ programme which teaches carbohydrate counting and insulin dose adjustment to patients with Type 1 diabetes, on HbA1c, Weight, Quality of life and Hypoglycaemia awareness.
