A repeated cross‐sectional survey of severe hypoglycaemia in 178 Type 1 diabetes mellitus patients performed in 1984 and 1998

Abstract

We conclude that despite more frequent use of multiple injection therapy and SMBG, the prevalence of SH has increased by > 50% over 14 years. A multiple logistic regression analysis of risk factors for SH explained less than 10% of the variance, implicating only unawareness of hypoglycaemia and HbA1c.
