IN BRIEF The threat and incidence of hypoglycemia is the major limiting factor inintensive glycemic control for both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. This articlereviews the physiology of the normal counterregulatory responses tohypoglycemia and the deficient counterregulatory defenses that occur inpatients with diabetes. Treatment paradigms for establishing good glycemiccontrol while limiting hypoglycemia are also discussed.
