Frequency and predictors of hypoglycaemia in Type 1 and insulin‐treated Type 2 diabetes: a population‐based study

Abstract

The incidence of self-reported severe hypoglycaemia in insulin-treated Type 2 diabetes is lower than in Type 1 diabetes but does occur more often than previously reported and with sufficient frequency to cause significant morbidity. Duration of insulin treatment is a key predictor of hypoglycaemia in insulin-treated Type 2 diabetes.
