Clinical characteristics and hospitalisation outcomes of hypoglycaemia in hospitalised patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus [PDF]
Scripta MedicaBackground/Aim: Strict glycaemic control delays the onset as well the progression of diabetes related microvascular complications. The major roadblock in achieving the target glycated haemoglobin (HbA 1 c) and blood glucose levels is hypoglycaemia.

Sensor-based wearable system for the detection and automatic treatment of nocturnal hypoglycaemia [PDF]
Healthcare Technology Letters, 2018 Diabetic patients are prone to daily and severe health-related risks, namely hyper and hypoglycaemia. Hypoglycaemia phenomenon happens when the glucose level in patient's blood is lower than a well-determined sill.

Cognitive, behavioural and psychological barriers to the prevention of severe hypoglycaemia: A qualitative study of adults with type 1 diabetes [PDF]
SAGE Open Medicine, 2014 Objectives: Severe hypoglycaemia affects approximately one in three people with type 1 diabetes and is the most serious side effect of insulin therapy. Our aim was to explore individualistic drivers of severe hypoglycaemia events.

Hypoglycaemia and its associations with diabetes and age-related factors in older home-dwelling people with diabetes [PDF]
BMC GeriatricsBackground Studies have shown high rates of hypoglycaemia among home-dwelling older people receiving home care services. Hypoglycaemia can lead to severe consequences and in worst case, death.

Fear of hypoglycaemia in parents of young children with type 1 diabetes: a systematic review [PDF]
BMC Pediatrics, 2010 Background Many children with type 1 diabetes have poor glycaemic control. Since the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) showed that tighter control reduces complication rates, there has been more emphasis on intensified insulin therapy.

Asian Journal of Internal Medicine, 2023 Hypoglycaemia is diagnosed by the presence of symptoms of hypoglycaemia, documented low plasma glucose (often less than 50 mg/dl) at the time of symptoms, and recovery of symptoms by correction of glucose.

A randomised controlled study of high intensity exercise as a dishabituating stimulus to improve hypoglycaemia awareness in people with type 1 diabetes:a proof of concept study [PDF]
, 2020 Aims/hypothesis Approximately 25% of people with type 1 diabetes have suppressed counterregulatory hormonal and symptomatic responses to insulin-induced hypoglycaemia, which renders them at increased risk of severe, disabling hypoglycaemia.
