Brief Summary:
According to guidelines, when a mild-to-moderate hypoglycemia occurs (capillary blood glucose \< 4.0 mmol/L), 15-20g of rapidly absorbed carbohydrates should be ingested. Patients should re-test and re-ingest 15-20g carbohydrates every 15 minutes until they recover from hypoglycemia. These recommendations were principally based on two studies conducted in the 80s before the introduction of intensive insulin therapy secondary to the DCCT trial and with insulin formulations with largely different pharmacokinetic profiles from current insulin analogs. Recent studies suggest that with current insulin analogs and intensive therapeutic approach, 15g of carbohydrates may be insufficient to rapidly correct an important proportion of hypoglycemic episodes. It is thus important to determine if the recommended hypoglycemia treatment remains the recommendation.
