Key result
Insulin-induced hypoglycaemia acutely stimulated parotid salivary secretion and sweating synchronously with a rise in heart rate, without clear evidence of pupillary constriction.

Hypoglycemia may elicit sympathetic signs without miosis in healthy volunteers; hypothesis-generating for autonomic monitoring and requires validation in patients.
Does insulin-induced hypoglycaemia affect pupil size, parotid salivary secretion, and sweating in normal volunteers?
Insulin-induced hypoglycemia acutely stimulates parotid salivary secretion and sweating, but does not clearly cause pupillary constriction.
Corrall et al. (1983) studied this question. Insulin-induced hypoglycaemia acutely stimulated parotid salivary secretion and sweating synchronously with a rise in heart rate, without clear evidence of pupillary constriction.
