Hypoglycemia: what the trials found

Dasiglucagon has been shown to significantly improve the speed and magnitude of glucose recovery following a hypoglycemic event. Trials demonstrated significant reductions in time to plasma glucose recovery [6, 11, 12] and significant increases in both the amount of plasma glucose recovered and the total change from baseline [6, 11, 12].

Nasal glucagon administration is associated with high rates of patients awakening or returning to a normal status within 30 minutes following administration [14, 15].

The addition of glucomannan was associated with a statistically significant reduction in blood glucose levels during mixed meal testing (p=0.0156), though it did not significantly change the percentage of time spent in a hypoglycemic state (p=0.99) 5.

Combination therapy of vildagliptin and metformin resulted in 100% of patients achieving a decrease of at least 0.3% in HbA1c over 12 weeks, with no significant difference in glycemic variability (MAGE) between groups 4.

Recent results — preliminary, needs further review

  • EnMPC (Ensemble Model Predictive Control) AP Controller showed 0% time spent below 54 mg/dL and 1.3% time spent below 70 mg/dL 2.
  • Phentolamine was evaluated in a Phase 1 trial 1.
  • Cholecalciferol was evaluated in a Phase 2 trial 16.

For the clinician treating this condition

  • Dasiglucagon is an effective intervention for rapid glucose recovery following hypoglycemia, significantly reducing time to recovery and increasing the magnitude of glucose increase compared to standard treatments.
  • Nasal glucagon provides a viable route for emergency treatment, with high rates of patients returning to normal status within 30 minutes.
  • While glucomannan may lower blood glucose levels during mixed meal testing, it does not significantly alter the duration of time spent in a hypoglycemic state.

Questions about Hypoglycemia

Does continuous glucose monitoring reduce Hypoglycemia in ICU patients?

Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) may reduce the risk of hypoglycemia in ICU patients compared to standard point-of-care testing, though the level of certainty regarding this evidence is currently low.
