Hypoglycaemia unawareness flags high severe hypoglycaemia risk in insulin-treated diabetes; leaves open dependence on cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy.
Is unawareness of hypoglycaemia in insulin-treated diabetic patients associated with cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy and severe hypoglycaemia?
Loss of hypoglycaemia awareness in insulin-treated diabetic patients increases the risk of severe hypoglycaemia but is not strictly dependent on the presence of cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy.
Hepburn et al. (1990) studied this question.
