hypoglycemia unawareness

What Are the Mechanisms Behind This Condition?


The primary mechanism involves the impairment of the autonomic nervous system and the blunting of counter-regulatory hormone responses. Chemical exposure may alter neurotransmitter function or interfere with hormonal feedback loops, thereby reducing the body's ability to detect and respond to diminishing glucose levels. In particular, substances that affect neurotransmitter release or receptor sensitivity can play a significant role in this impairment.
