The severity and duration of Hypoglycemia affect platelet-derived protein responses in Caucasians.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Severe hypoglycemia is associated with increased cardiovascular death risk, and platelet responses to hypoglycemia (hypo) have been described. However, the impact of deep transient hypo (deep-hypo) versus prolonged milder hypo (mild-hypo) on platelet response is unclear.

Research design and methods

Two hypo studies were compared; firstly, mild-hypo in 18-subjects (10 type-2-diabetes (T2D), 8 controls), blood glucose to 2.8mmoL/L (50 mg/dL) for 1-hour; secondly deep-hypo in 46-subjects (23 T2D, 23 controls), blood glucose to < 2.2mmoL/L (< 40 mg/dL) transiently. Platelet-related protein (PRP) responses from baseline to after 1-hour of hypo (mild-hypo) or at deep-hypo were compared, and at 24-hours post-hypo.
