Severe hypoglycemia and diabetic ketoacidosis among youth with type 1 diabetes in the T1D Exchange clinic registry

Abstract

Our data show that poor glycemic control increases the risk of DKA but does not protect against SH in youth and young adults with type 1 diabetes. The high frequencies of SH and DKA observed in disadvantaged minorities with T1D highlight the need for targeted interventions and new treatment paradigms for patients in these high risk groups.
