because glucagon normally plays a primary role in hypoglycemic glucose counterregulation and enhanced epinephrine secretion largely compensates for glucagon deficiency , we hypothesized that patients with iddm , who exhibit diminished glucagon secretory responses to hypoglycemia , would be more dependent upon epinephrine to promote glucose recovery from hypoglycemia than are nondiabetic persons .
