GLUCOSE-LOWERING AGENTS AND RISK OF HYPOGLYCAEMIA • Hypoglycaemia has been associated with: • Activation of adrenergic response1 • Impaired flexibility in substrate shift in the diabetic myocardium2 • QTcprolongation and cardiac rate/rhythm disturbances3 • Excessive glucose fluctuations with marked activation of oxidative stress4 1.

THE HYPOGLYCAEMIA IN ELDERLY • In the elderly, hypoglycaemia can have serious, sometimes life-threatening, consequences for the heart or brain • Elderly patients have a HIGHER RISK OF COMPLICATIONS: • Falls and injury, cognitive decline, depression, degraded quality-of-life • SYMPTOMS MAY BE DIFFERENT from younger patients: • Blurred vision, instability • Often blunted by an autonomous neuropathy or impaired cognitive function (‘silent’ hypoglycaemia) • FAVOURING FACTORSfor hypoglycaemia other than age are: • Multiple co-morbid conditions • Renal impairment • Multiple medications • More frequent, poorly-adapted behaviour response • Rare use of self monitoring • Absence of patient and caregiver education Lecomte P. Diabetes Metab, 2005;31:5S105-5S111.
