ABSTRACT: Objective
Severe hypoglycemia is associated with increased cardiovascular death risk, and platelet responses to hypoglycemia (hypo) have been described. However, the impact of deep transient hypo (deep-hypo) versus prolonged milder hypo (mild-hypo) on platelet response is unclear.Research design and methods
Two hypo studies were compared; firstly, mild-hypo in 18-subjects (10 type-2-diabetes (T2D), 8 controls), blood glucose to 2.8mmoL/L (50 mg/dL) for 1-hour; secondly deep-hypo in 46-subjects (23 T2D, 23 controls), blood glucose to < 2.2mmoL/L (< 40 mg/dL) transiently. Platelet-related protein (PRP) responses from baseline to after 1-hour of hypo (mild-hypo) or at deep-hypo were compared, and at 24-hours post-hypo. Slow Off-rate Modified Aptamer (SOMA)-scan plasma protein measurement was used to determine PRP changes for 13 PRPs.Results
In controls, from baseline to hypo, differences were seen for four PRPs, three showing increased %change in deep-hypo (Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1(PAI-1), CD40 ligand (CD40LG) and Protein-S), one showing increased %change in mild-hypo (von Willebrand factor (vWF)); at 24-hours in controls, %change for Protein-S remained increased in deep-hypo, whilst % change for vWF and plasminogen were increased in mild-hypo. In T2D, from baseline to hypo, differences were seen for 4 PRPs, three showing increased %change in deep-hypo (PAI-1, platelet glycoprotein VI and Tissue factor), one showing increased %change in mild-hypo (CD40LG); at 24-hours in T2D, %change for CD40LG remained increased, together with vWF, in deep-hypo.Conclusion
Both mild-hypo and deep-hypo showed marked PRP changes that continued up to 24-hours, showing that both the severity and duration of hypoglycemia are likely important and that any degree of hypoglycemia may be detrimental for increased cardiovascular risk events through PRP changes.
