<prompt> All are risk factors for Severe Hypoglycemia exceptSleepShort duration of D.MACE genotypeStrict control of blood sugar level  <response>: A Sleep Hypoglycemia-Associated: Autonomic FailureNueropathy: The concept of hypoglycemia-associated autonomic failure HAAF in diabetis posts that recent antecedent iatrogenic hypoglycemia or sleep or prior exercise causes both defective glucose counterregulation by reducirg the epinephrine response to a given level of subsequent hypoglycemia in the setting of absent insulin and glucagon responses and hypoglycemia unawareness by reducing the sympathoadrenal response to a given level of subsequent hypoglycemia. Based on this pathophysiology, additional risk factors for hypoglycemia in diabetes include insulin deficiency that indicate; that insulin levels will not decrease and glucagon levels will not increase as plasma glucose levels fall; a history of severe hypoglyc emia or of hypoglycemia unawareness, implying recent antecedent hypoglycemia, that indicates that the sympathoadrenal response will be attenuated; and lower HbA1c levels or lower glycemic goals that, all other factors being equal, increase the probability of recent antecedent hypoglycemia
