The GLUREDIA study investigates the counter-regulatory response (CRR) during hypoglycemia in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Hypoglycemia can lead to severe symptoms, but is normally counteracted by CRR, corresponding to the secretion of hormones to maintain normoglycemia. Hypoglycemia is common in T1DM but some patients develop severe hypoglycemia as a result of CRR dysfunction. Despite several studies in adults, the presence of CRR dysfunction remains unpredictable and not well understood. The objective of GLUREDIA is therefore to describe and predict the evolution of CRR in children with T1DM.
