Aims/hypothesis. Experimental hypoglycaemia leads to abnormal cardiac repolarization manifest by a lengthened QT interval and caused by adrenergic stimulation. However it is less clear whether spontaneous clinical episodes lead to similar changes. We have therefore measured cardiac ventricular repolarization and counterregulatory responses in patients with Type 1 diabetes during hypoglycaemic and euglycaemic nights.Methods. We studied 22 patients with Type 1 diabetes (mean age 40.4+/-17.2 years, duration of diabetes 17.2+/-9.3 years, HbA1c 8.2+/-1.2% overnight). Measurements were taken hourly of blood glucose, plasma potassium, catecholamines and high resolution electrocardiograms.Results. Hypoglycaemia (blood glucose level
