Abstract

CONTEXT: People with type 1 diabetes (T1D) are at increased risk of thrombosis compared to the general population; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Hypoglycemia induced at rest can induce coagulation activation, but little is known about the hemostatic effects of exercise-related hypoglycemia in people with T1D.

OBJECTIVE: We compared hemostatic profiles of individuals with T1D with healthy controls and explored hemostatic effects of hypoglycemia, induced with or without exercise, in participants with T1D.

METHODS: Thrombelastography was used for a baseline hemostatic comparison between fifteen men with T1D and matched healthy controls. In addition, the participants with T1D underwent two euglycemic-hypoglycemic clamp days in a randomized, crossover fashion. Hypoglycemia was induced with the participants at rest (Hypo-rest) or during exercise (Hypo-exercise). Thrombelastography provides data on the rate of coagulation activation (R-time), the rate of clot formation (K-time, α-Angle), the maximum clot amplitude (MA), the functional fibrinogen contribution to the clot strength (MA-FF) and the fibrinolysis (LY-30).

RESULTS: The T1D group exhibited a faster rate of coagulation activation (shorter R-time) and a faster clot formation (greater α-Angle) compared with the controls. During the clamp experiments, Hypo-exercise induced an increased clot strength (MA) with a mean difference from baseline of 2.77 mm (95% CI, 2.04-3.51) accompanied with a decreased fibrinolysis (LY-30) of -0.45 percentage point (-0.60 to -0.29). Hypo-rest resulted in increased functional fibrinogen (MA-FF) of 0.74 mm (0.13-1.36) along with an increased fibrinolysis (LY-30) of 0.54 percentage point (0.11-0.98).

CONCLUSION: Individuals with T1D exhibit a hypercoagulable hemostatic profile compared with healthy controls and exercise-related hypoglycemia may increase the susceptibility to thrombosis via both procoagulant and antifibrinolytic effects.
