Zusammenfassung

Die Problematik von Hypoglykämien umfasst ein multifaktorielles Geschehen, bei dem physiologische Parameter und das Verhalten der betroffenen Patienten im Rahmen der Selbstkontrolle miteinender interagieren. Insbesondere die zunehmende Therapie mit Insulin und nahe-normoglykämische Blutglukoseeinstellung haben die Hypoglykämie zu einem bedeutenden Problem im Rahmen der diabetesbedingten Akutkomplikationen werden lassen. Eine frühzeitige Diagnostik und Therapieeinleitung sind daher unerlässlich um die erhöhte Mortalität zu senken. Neben der Akuttherapie der Hypoglykämie umfassen die erweiterten therapeutischen Maßnahmen die Modifikation der Diabetestherapie, Patientenschulungen sowie ein spezielles Hypoglykämiewahrnehmungstraining.

Abstract

Hypoglycemia is a multifactorial problem that is caused by the interaction of numerous variables such as a individual pathophysiological response, treatment aspects and self control. In particular, the increasing use of intensified insulin therapy and thus the goal of normoglycemia has made hypoglycaemia to become a major hazard among the acute complications of diabetes mellitus. Early diagnosis and treatment is thus mandatory to reduce the increased morbidity and mortality of hypoglycaemia. Among the acute therapy of hypoglycaemia treatment includes a modification of diabetes therapy, patient education and a special training of hypoglycaemia awareness.
