Response to hypoglycemia is largely driven by ____ (2)
Epinephrine and glucagon
Early sx of hypoglycemia
sweating, tremors, palpitations, hunger, nervousness => due to NE & Epi release
Late sx of hypoglycemia

Why don’t you give beta blockers in hypoglycemia?
- Exacerbate hypoglycemia. Recall that Beta2 receptors increase liver gluconeogenes, glycogenolysis, lypolysis and skeletal muscle glycogenolysis. If this is blocked, the result is hypoglycemia.
- Mask adrenergic symptoms. Because of inhibition of Epi & NE compensatory response.
