Definitions
- the invention relates to the use of special carbohydrate-containing compositions, in particular in tablet form, for the preparation of agents for the treatment of forms of hypoglycemia, in particular nocturnal hypoglycemia.
- Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder that affects the utilization of carbohydrates. It is caused in particular by a lack of insulin and can lead to chronic hyperglycemia with numerous subsequent damages.
- the carbohydrates ingested with food are broken down into glucose, which is transferred through the intestinal wall into the blood and distributed throughout the body.
- the body's own hormone insulin causes the glucose contained in the blood to enter the cells, where it is used to generate energy.
- the insulin required for this is mainly produced in the pancreas. If the body does not produce any insulin or does not produce enough insulin, glucose cannot be transferred into the body's cells and therefore remains in the blood.
- diabetes mellitus is usually treated with insulin. This creates the problem of correctly dosing the amount of insulin, i.e. adjusting it to the amount of carbohydrate. If too little insulin is given, too much glucose remains in the blood. If the insulin dosage is too high, hypoglycemia can occur. This type of hypoglycemia is a serious disorder that can be fatal in the worst case.
- hypoglycemia can also occur at night.
- people who suffer from diabetes wake up at night, for example, with outbreaks of sweat or are woken up by warning devices. This can happen, for example, if the person in question has eaten a meal in the evening or at night whose exact carbohydrate content is not known. The person is then dependent on estimating the carbohydrate content in order to then administer the appropriate amount of insulin. If the amount of carbohydrate is overestimated, the hypoglycemia mentioned above can then occur after insulin is administered.
- Affected people often find it unpleasant to eat glucose, (sweet) fruit juices or bread, especially at night, to compensate for the hypoglycemia. In order to compensate for the sweet taste in the mouth, they would have to get up at night and brush their teeth again, for example.
- the task therefore arises of providing a composition that is able to specifically raise the blood sugar level in the event of hypoglycemia, is easy to dose, but at the same time does not leave an unpleasant sweet taste in the mouth, so that the affected people can continue sleeping. This task is solved by using the compositions described below.
- compositions for the treatment of nocturnal hypoglycemia are compositions that are described as "delayed and sustained release compositions".
- the compositions are intended to be taken before going to bed and ensure a consistent supply of carbohydrates during the night. Treatment of acute nocturnal hypoglycemia is not possible due to the delayed release.
- the document CN 115226896 describes other sustained release compositions of various carbohydrates, which are also not suitable for the treatment of acute nocturnal hypoglycaemia.
- the document DE 2246013 A describes a process for the production of porous carbohydrate-containing tablets which solves various production problems of Tablet formulations are intended to solve this problem. Nocturnal hypoglycemia treatment is not mentioned here.
- compositions for producing cell cultures These compositions are said to contain carbohydrates and are described as "sustained release" compositions. Use for the treatment of nocturnal hypoglycemia is not mentioned here.
- the document CN 105963266 A describes glucose tablets that are also intended to be suitable for the treatment of hypoglycemia. Due to their composition, the tablets dissolve in the mouth and produce a sweet taste.
- the present invention relates to the use of carbohydrate-containing compositions, in particular in tablet form, which only release the carbohydrates contained in the gastrointestinal tract, for the treatment of hypoglycemia, in particular nocturnal hypoglycemia.
- compositions initially contain one or more saccharides as carbohydrates, such as dextrose, lactose, maltose, trehalose, sucrose or mixtures thereof.
- carbohydrates such as dextrose, lactose, maltose, trehalose, sucrose or mixtures thereof.
- a well-known carbohydrate mixture is, for example, maltodextrin.
- the carbohydrates sometimes occur in various hydrate forms, i.e. they contain different amounts of water of crystallization.
- Dextrose for example, is available as a monohydrate, but also as anhydrous anhydrate. Typically, all available stable hydrate forms can be used to produce the preparations according to the invention.
- dextrose works quickly, whereas other carbohydrates have a delayed onset of action but can have a longer lasting effect. Mixtures of different carbohydrates can produce a rapid initial effect, which lasts longer when more complex carbohydrates are added.
- the composition consists predominantly, i.e. more than 70%, of the saccharide or the saccharide mixture.
- conventional agents are used to improve the processability or dissolution properties, such as stearates or cellulose.
- the saccharide content is up to 95%, typically around 80%.
- the inventive The most preferred saccharide is dextrose, especially as dextrose monohydrate.
- the composition is first pressed into pellet-shaped tablet cores.
- the individual tablet cores have diameters between 4 and 10 mm, preferably between 6 and 8 mm, and can have the usual shapes for such compositions, such as spherical, biconvex, faceted or curved. It goes without saying that they should not have any sharp edges for the purpose of ingestion, but otherwise the shape is practically arbitrary.
- the prefabricated tablet cores are coated with a coating that is tasteless and ensures that the tablets do not dissolve in the mouth, but that the saccharides they contain are only released in the stomach.
- the coating also makes the tablets easier to swallow.
- Such coatings are known in principle. They are usually composed on the basis of starch and modified cellulose. The decisive factor for the coating is that it does not dissolve in the mouth, but rather quickly releases the tablet core in the stomach.
- the following substance classes are preferably used for the coating according to the invention:
- Cellulose and cellulose derivatives in particular carboxymethylcellulose, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose phthalate, methylcellulose, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (hypromellose) and/or hydroxypropylcellulose
- the most preferred coating agent is hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (hypromellose).
- the coatings can also contain colorants.
- food colorants are used, such as carotenoids (E 160a), berry colorants (anthocyanins, E 163), beetroot colorants (betanin, E 162), carmine (E 120), paprika extract (E 160c) and curcumin (E 100).
- Particularly preferred are strongly coloring plant or fruit extracts, such as beetroot, spinach or elderberry juice and spices such as saffron and turmeric.
- the tablet cores are preferably coated in a single process, resulting in modified film-coated tablets (coated tablets).
- modified film-coated tablets coated tablets
- the classic coating with several layers is of course also possible.
- the tablets created from the tablet cores by coating typically have a diameter of between 4 and 10 mm and a mass of between 50 and 500 mg.
- the individual tablets Preferably, have a diameter of 7 to 8 mm and a mass of 210 to 270 mg.
- a person suffering from hypoglycemia can dose the composition according to the invention in tablet form using simple dosing devices, for example with a dosing spoon.
- the spoon can be designed in such a way that a total amount of tablets is taken up that corresponds to a certain amount of carbohydrates, for example a carbohydrate unit, the typical calculation unit for diabetics.
- carbohydrate units can then be taken from a storage container and taken orally.
- a sip of water can be helpful in swallowing the tablets completely.
- the tablets do not release any carbohydrates in the mouth within about 15 seconds, so that their sweet taste in the mouth is avoided.
- the tablets only dissolve in the stomach and there quickly release the saccharides they contain, which then combat hypoglycemia by raising the blood sugar level.
- the properties of the tablets described also allow their use in hypoglycaemia conditions that are not caused by diabetes, eg in endurance sports. For example, marathon runners may experience so-called “hunger bouts”, which is a form of hypoglycemia that is not caused by diabetes. Another form of hypoglycemia that is not caused by diabetes can occur when people have not eaten anything for a long time or have eaten very few carbohydrates (“fastin hypoglycemia”). Taking the tablets described in a controlled dose can also overcome such hypoglycemia.
- a particular advantage of the tablets described is that, when taken as described, a state of hypoglycemia can be treated without the risk of triggering sugar addiction. Experts believe that sugar addiction is promoted by the connection between the sweet taste and the immediate rise in blood sugar, as occurs when eating common sweets (e.g. chocolate bars, gummy bears). Due to the lack of the sweet taste in the mouth, the reward system in the brain is apparently not activated, so that no addictive effects occur.
