Abstract

The response to hypoglycemia is in the first place represented by an immediate supply of carbohydrates to the body. Apart from short-term and long-term negative impacts on the nervous system, the hypoglycemia is often reflected in a destabilization of glucose levels in the next few hours, which is associated with reactive hyperglycemia that usually follows hypoglycemia.

One possibility to prevent such a destabilization should theoretically be a temporary interruption of insulin administration during the treatment with insulin pump, which the insulin pump Paradigm Veo actively offers. Our paper analyses the post-hypoglycemic excursions of glycemia during the use of this device
