Abstract | Context: Iatrogenic hypoglycemia remains one of the leading hindrances of optimal glycemic management in insulin-treated diabetes. Recurring hypoglycemia leads to a condition of hypoglycemia-associated autonomic failure (HAAF). HAAF refers to a combination of (i) impaired hormonal counterregulatory responses and (ii) hypoglycemia unawareness to subsequent hypoglycemia, substantially increasing the risk of severe hypoglycemia. Several studies since the 1990s have experimentally induced HAAF, yielding variable results. Objective: The aim of this review was to assess the varying designs, clinical outcomes, potential assets, and drawbacks related to these studies. Method: A systemic literature search was conducted on PubMed and Embase in winter 2021 to include all human studies attempting to experimentally induce HAAF. In different combinations, the search terms used were "hypoglycemia-associated autonomic failure," "HAAF," "hypoglycemia," "recurring," "recurrent," "repeated," "consecutive," and "unawareness," yielding 1565 publications. Inclusion criteria were studies that had aimed at experimentally inducing HAAF and measuring outcomes of hormonal counterregulation and awareness of hypoglycemia. Results: The literature search yielded 27 eligible publications, of which 20 were successful in inducing HAAF while statistical significantly impairing Conclusion: Here we have outlined the most important factors to take into consideration when designing a study aimed at inducing HAAF, including to take into consideration other disease states susceptible to hypoglycemia, thus hopefully clarifying the field and allowing qualified studies in the future. |
