Hypoglycaemia may cause transient cognitive impairment and neurological deficits that are frequently unilateral. The effect of mild hypoglycaemia (serum glucose level 3.4 +/- 0.1 mmol/l; mean +/- SEM) on regional cerebral blood flow and cerebrovascular resistance was studied in eight right-handed children with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (age 14.9 +/- 0.7 years; diabetes duration 7.4 +/- 1.1 years; six males) using the intravenous xenon-133 clearance method. Global mean cerebral grey and white matter blood flow, adjusted to mean pCO2 of cohort, showed a trend towards an increase from 54.7 +/- 3.5 ml.100 g-1.min-1 at baseline euglycaemia to 58.0 +/- 4.1 ml.100 g-1.min-1 during hypoglycaemia (p = 0.075). Statistically significant changes were seen in global mean cerebral grey matter blood flow, as indexed by initial slope, which increased from 88.0 +/- 6.5 min-1 before hypoglycaemia to 96.3 +/- 7.2 min-1 during hypoglycaemia (p &lt; 0.05). Cerebral grey matter blood flow was significantly higher in the right hemisphere compared to the left during hypoglycaemia (p &lt; 0.01) but not at baseline euglycaemia. Measurements of global cerebrovascular resistance showed a borderline decrease from 1.64 +/- 0.11 to 1.54 +/- 0.11 mm Hg.ml-1.100 g-1.min-1 (p &lt; 0.09). In conclusion, mild hypoglycaemia is associated with increases in cerebral blood flow which are greater in grey matter flow indices and in the right hemisphere. We speculate that asymmetrical cerebral blood flow changes may explain the frequent laterality of neurological deficits during severe hypoglycaemia.
