These results demonstrate that switching to degludec from other basal insulins was associated with reduced rates of hypoglycaemia, irrespective of the definition used or baseline patient characteristics (Diabetes Therapy)

The Association Between HbA1c and Time in Hypoglycemia During CGM and Self-Monitoring of Blood Glucose in People With Type 1 Diabetes and Multiple Daily Insulin Injections
CGM is associated with considerably less time in hypoglycemia than SMBG at a broad range of HbA1c levels and is crucial for patients with MDI treatment if they are to have a chance to approach hypoglycemia targets (Diabetes Care)
Episodes of severe hypoglycemia is associated with a progressive increase in hemoglobin A1c in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes
Severe hypoglycemia was followed by a progressive and lasting increase in HbA1c among Danish children and adolescents with T1D. Thus, in addition to the known risk of new episodes of hypoglycemia and cognitive impairment, SH contributes to long‐term diabetes complications (Pediatric Diabetes)
Association between reduced kidney function and incident hypoglycemia in people with diabetes; the Stockholm CREAtinine Measurements (SCREAM) project
In this large, observational study, low eGFR strongly associated with the occurrence, severity and fatality of hypoglycemia in persons with diabetes (Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism)
Risk of severe hypoglycaemia and its impact in type 2 diabetes in DEVOTE
The risk score demonstrated that a high risk of severe hypoglycaemia was associated with a high incidence of MACE and all‐cause mortality and that, in this high‐risk group, those treated with degludec had a lower incidence of MACE. These observations support the hypothesis that hypoglycaemia is a risk factor for cardiovascular events (Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism)
Hypoglycemia during Short-Term Intensive Insulin Therapy and Its Association with Long-Term Glycemic Remission in Patients with Newly Diagnosed Type 2 Diabetes
Mild hypoglycemic episodes during the continuing insulin dose reduction period indicate a long-term drug-free euglycemic remission in patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes. However, the insulin dosage should be reduced even more quickly in the future treatment to decrease the potential harms (Journal of Diabetes Research)
How Valid Are the New Hypoglycemia Definitions for Use in Clinical Trials?
The deeper analysis of data from the well-powered SWITCH studies does support that the new IHSG level 2 definition compared with the previous ADA definition can result in statistically more robust findings when comparing insulins (Diabetes Care)
Hypoglycemic Confidence in the Partners of Adults with Type 1 Diabetes
HC is an important facet of the experiences of T1D partners. It is related to, yet distinct from, hypoglycemic fear. The Partner-HCS is a reliable, valid method for assessing HC in partners of T1D adults (Diabetes Technology and Therapeutics)
Severe Hypoglycemia Attributable to Intensive Glucose-Lowering Therapy Among US Adults With Diabetes
Intensive glucose-lowering therapy, particularly among vulnerable clinically complex adults, is strongly discouraged because it may lead to hypoglycemia. However, intensive treatment was equally prevalent among US adults, irrespective of clinical complexity (Mayo)
Efficacy of two telemonitoring systems to improve glycaemic control during basal insulin initiation in patients with type 2 diabetes: The TeleDiab‐2 randomized controlled trial
Both telemonitoring systems improved glycaemic control to a similar extent, without increasing hypoglycaemic episodes (Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism)
Use of sensor‐integrated pump therapy to reduce hypoglycaemia in people with Type 1 diabetes: a real‐world study in the UK
Real‐world UK data show that increasing automation of insulin suspension reduces hypoglycaemia exposure in people with Type 1 diabetes (Diabetic Medicine)
First aid glucose administration routes for symptomatic hypoglycaemia
These results have important implications for individuals with symptoms of mild to moderate hypoglycaemia, their family members and first‐aid providers (Cochrane)
Impaired awareness of hypoglycemia: a new risk factor for adverse pregnancy outcomes in type 1 diabetes
Impaired awareness of hypoglycemia: a new risk factor for adverse pregnancy outcomes in type 1 diabetes (Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice)
Low versus high carbohydrate diet in type 1 diabetes: A 12‐week randomized open‐label crossover study
Compared with an intake of 250 g of carbohydrate per day, restriction of carbohydrate intake to 100 g per day in adults with type 1 diabetes reduced time spent in hypoglycaemia, glycaemic variability and weight with no effect on cardiovascular risk factors (Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism)
Double‐blind, randomized clinical trial comparing the efficacy and safety of continuing or discontinuing the dipeptidyl peptidase‐4 inhibitor sitagliptin when initiating insulin glargine therapy in patients with type 2 diabetes
When initiating insulin glargine therapy, continuation of sitagliptin, compared with discontinuation, resulted in a clinically meaningful greater reduction in HbA1c without an increase in hypoglycaemia (Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism)
Glycemic goal attainment and hypoglycemia outcomes in type 2 diabetes patients initiating insulin glargine 300 units/mL or 100 units/mL: Real‐world results from the DELIVER Naïve cohort study
Among insulin‐naïve adults with T2D, Gla‐300 was associated with significantly better HbA1c reductions (latest value during 90–180‐day follow‐up) and similar or improved hypoglycemia outcomes (3‐ and 6‐month follow‐up) than Gla‐100 (Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism)
Sliding scale insulin for non‐critically ill hospitalised adults with diabetes mellitus
Based on low‐ to very low‐certainty evidence, our results for non‐critically ill hospitalised adults with diabetes mellitus in the medical and surgical in‐hospital setting showed that a basal‐bolus insulin strategy that applied higher total daily doses of insulin than the sliding scale insulin regimen might result in better short‐term glycaemic control but might also cause an increase in severe hypoglycaemic episodes (Cochrane Systematic Review)
Asymptomatic hypoglycaemia in Type 1 diabetes: incidence and risk factors
Asymptomatic hypoglycaemia constitutes the majority of hypoglycaemic events in Type 1 diabetes. Reduced hypoglycaemia awareness and high insulin dose are risk factors for asymptomatic hypoglycaemia, but other conventional risk factors for severe hypoglycaemia do not correlate with risk of asymptomatic episodes (Diabetic Medicine)
Development and validation of a risk prediction model for severe hypoglycemia in adult patients with type 2 diabetes
This 14-variable prediction model for SH events may be a useful tool to identify high-risk patients and guide prevention of SH in adult patients with T2DM (Clinical Epidemiology)
Inpatient hypoglycaemia; should we should we focus on the guidelines, the targets or our tools?
These guidelines suggest using lower limits of glucose targets varying from 4.0 to 6.0 mmol/l [2–4]. Levy et al. propose a lower glucose limit of 5 mmol/l with the catchphrase ‘stop at 5 and keep the inpatient alive’ (Diabetic Medicine)
