Summary

This study looked at how low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) affects the body's ability to control heart rate in people with well-controlled type 2 diabetes. Fourteen adults underwent two sessions of low blood sugar while their heart rate regulation was measured. The goal was to understand the link between hypoglycemia and autonomic nervous system function, not to test a new treatment.
