    Abstract

    The aim of this study was to compare the glycaemic threshold for onset of the clinically detectable sympatho-adrenal (autonomic) reaction (defined as 'R') to hypoglycaemia induced by Lispro human insulin, with that induced by human soluble insulin (HS). The hypoglycaemia symptom profile, counterregulatory hormonal responses, and cognitive performance at R were also compared. Sixteen patients with IDDM, aged 32.5 (20-45) (median (range)) years and duration of IDDM 3.0 (0.5-4.5) years participated in a randomized, double-blind study during which intravenous infusions of either Lispro or HS insulin (2.0 mU kg(-1) min(-1)) were used on separate occasions to lower the blood glucose to the level at which R was induced. For both HS and Lispro, significant increments in systolic blood pressure (p
