“Unstable hemodynamics (edema and use of a vasopressor ) and use of insulin were associated with increased error of blood glucose monitoring with glucose meters.”
“In addition, hypoglycemia and coronary vasoconstriction might limit the delivery of substrate ( glucose and free fatty acids) to the myocardium, consequently contributing to an imbalance of myocardial energy supply and demand.”
“We hypothesise that this vasoconstrictor may prevent full perfusion of muscle, thereby limiting delivery of insulin and glucose and contributing to insulin resistance.”
