Yaffe and colleagues explained that hypoglycemia may contribute to the pathogenesis of dementia through several mechanisms, including the fact that recurrent severe hypoglycemia has been shown to result in brain damage. It can also lead to ionic homeostasis and increases in reactive oxygen species that can lead to neuronal death, they wrote. At the same time, dementia contributes to hypoglycemia risk because it may make it more difficult for patients to manage their diabetes treatment regimens. Cognitive dysfunction may also delay the recognition of symptoms of hypoglycemia, they wrote.
