DOIAbstract
Hypoglycemia (blood glucose <70 mg/dL) is a major barrier for achieving normoglycemia in diabetes. Three critical gaps are: i) limited data exist on describing longitudinal incidence of severe hypoglycemia both in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D); ii) the relationship of HbA1c level with risk of severe hypoglycemia in patients with T1D or T2D remains controversial; iii) how usual dietary intake impacts on risk of hypoglycemia in patients with T1D is unclear. To address first two gaps, we used primary and secondary care data from the Clinical Practice Research Datalink and Hospital Episode Statistics in England. Temporal trends of hypoglycemia requiring hospitalization in adults with T1D (N=23,251) or T2D (N=241,...
