Impaired glucose metabolism is characterized by conditions of hypo and hyperglycemia.
The objective of the present study was to asses whether or not there is a relationship between impaired glucose metabolism and dizziness. In the clinical laboratory settings, patients were examined using vectoelectronystagmography in association with glycemic levels.
33 patients were divided in 3 groups: diabetics; patients with dizziness and a control group.
65% of the patients with dizziness showed impaired glucose metabolism. 40% of the patients with dizziness had alterations in their vectoelectronystagmography results.
Dizziness is a good indicator of glucose metabolism alterations and these may be a good indicator of alterations in vectoelectronystagmography responses. The study of glycemic levels after glucose overexposure is a good prognosis factor to evaluate dizziness and shows the same results as insulin level studies after glucose overexposure.
葡萄糖代谢受损的特征是血糖过低和过高的情况。
本研究的目的是评估葡萄糖代谢受损与头晕之间是否存在关联。在临床实验室环境中,对患者进行了矢量眼震电图检查并结合血糖水平进行检查。
33名患者分为3组:糖尿病患者;头晕患者和对照组。
65%的头晕患者显示葡萄糖代谢受损。40%的头晕患者矢量眼震电图结果有改变。
头晕是葡萄糖代谢改变的良好指标,而这些改变可能是矢量眼震电图反应改变的良好指标。葡萄糖过度暴露后血糖水平的研究是评估头晕的良好预后因素,并且与葡萄糖过度暴露后胰岛素水平研究显示相同的结果。
