Abstract
AbstractThe dynamics of cerebral blood flow (CBF) at the onset of hypoglycemia may play a key role in hypoglycemia unawareness; however, there is currently a paucity of techniques that can monitor adult CBF with high temporal resolution. Herein, we investigated the use of diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS) to monitor the dynamics of CBF during insulin-induced hypoglycemia in adults. Plasma glucose concentrations, cortisol levels, and changes in CBF were measured before and during hypoglycemia in 8 healthy subjects. Cerebral blood flow increased by 42% following insulin injection with a delay of 17 ± 10 min, while the onset of hypoglycemia symptoms was delayed by 24 ± 11 min. The findings suggest that the onset of CBF increments precedes the appearance of hypoglycemia symptoms in nondiabetic subjects with normal awareness to hypoglycemia, and DCS could be a valuable tool for investigating the role of CBF in hypoglycemia unawareness.
